About Gilles Deleuze

  • Gilles Deleuze (; French: [?il d?løz]; 18 January 1925 – 4 November 1995) was a French philosopher who, from the early 1950s until his death in 1995, wrote on philosophy, literature, film, and fine art.
  • His most popular works were the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus (1972) and A Thousand Plateaus (1980), both co-written with psychoanalyst Félix Guattari.
  • His metaphysical treatise Difference and Repetition (1968) is considered by many scholars to be his magnum opus.
  • A.
  • W.
  • Moore, citing Bernard Williams's criteria for a great thinker, ranks Deleuze among the "greatest philosophers".
  • Although he once characterized himself as a "pure metaphysician", his work has influenced a variety of disciplines across philosophy and art, including literary theory, post-structuralism and postmodernism.Along with several French and Italian Marxist-inspired neo-Spinozists like Louis Althusser, Étienne Balibar, and Antonio Negri, he was one of the central figures in a great flowering of Spinoza studies in the late 20th and early 21st centuries continental philosophy (or the rise of French-inspired post-structuralist Neo-Spinozism) that was the second remarkable Spinoza revival in history, after highly significant Neo-Spinozism in German philosophy and literature of approximately the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
  • A fervent Spinozist in many respects, Deleuze's preoccupation with and reverence for Spinoza are well known in contemporary philosophy.
  • As Pierre Macherey noted, "An important part of Deleuze's oeuvre is devoted to the reading of philosophers: the Stoics, Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Bergson, etc.
  • But a rather singular position in this list would be assigned to Spinoza, owing to the philosophical interest that corresponds to him."
