Description
A Thousand Plateaus is the second part of Deleuze and Guattari's landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia—a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate.
Written over a seven-year period, A Thousand Plateaus provides a compelling analysis of social phenomena and offers fresh alternatives for thinking about philosophy and culture.
Its radical perspective provides a toolbox for ‘nomadic thought’ and has had a galvanising influence on today's anti-capitalist movement.
