Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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 FΓ©lix 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 FranΓ§ois ChΓ’telet. 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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Eric Alliez, author of Signature of the World: What is Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy?, praises the book as "the best introduction to Deleuzian philosophyβ€”a dazzling exposition of Deleuze's concepts and methodologies, showing how to think in new ways to liberate life wherever it is imprisoned." He highlights Dialogues II as a work affirming the possibility of a new type of revolution.
