Contains a series of discussions with the philosopher and French journalist Claire Parnet, in which Gilles Deleuze explores the major concepts that shaped his work and describes his development as a philosopher. This edition also includes Deleuze's essay "Pericles and Verdi," which reflects on the work of the French philosopher Francois Chatelet.
The classic introduction to the philosopher's theories and criticism with a new essay on politics and historical materialism.
French journalist Claire Parnet's famous dialogues with Gilles Deleuze offer an intimate portrait of the philosopher's life and thought. Conversational in tone, their engaging discussions delve deeply into Deleuze's philosophical background and development, the major concepts that shaped his work, and the essence of some of his famous relationships, especially his long collaboration with the philosopher Fรฉlix Guattari.
Deleuze reconsiders Spinoza, empiricism, and the stoics alongside literature, psychoanalysis, and politics. He returns to the notions of minor literature, deterritorialisation, the critical and clinical, and begins a nascent study of cinema.
New to this edition is Deleuze's essay "Pericles and Verdi," which reflects on politics and historical materialism in the work of the influential French philosopher Franรงois Chรขtelet. An enduring record of Deleuze's unique personality and profound contributions to culture and philosophy, Dialogues II is a highly personable account of the evolution of one of the greatest critics and theorists of the twentieth century.
