Deleuze, Gilles Nietzsche and Philosophy

<p><span>Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII. He is a key figure in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century.</span></p><br/><p><span></span></p><br/><p><i><span>Nietzsche and Philosophy</span></i><span> has long been recognised as one of the most important accounts of Nietzsche''s philosophy, acclaimed for its rare combination of scholarly rigour and imaginative interpretation. Yet this is more than a major work on Nietzsche; the book opened a whole new avenue in post-war thought. Here, Deleuze shows how Nietzsche began a new way of thinking which breaks with the dialectic as a method and escapes the confines of philosophy itself.</span></p><br/><p><span></span></p><br/><p><span>Translated by Hugh Tomlinson.</span></p>
