| Description: |
An exposition of the critique of identity and one of the seminal post-existentialist, post-structuralist texts, first published in France in 1968 and defended in 1969 as Deleuze's main thesis toward his Doctorat d'Etat at the Sorbonne. Translated by Paul Patton. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. |
| Synopsis: |
This brilliant exposition of the critique of identity is a classic in contemporary philosophy and one of Deleuze's most important works. Of fundamental importance to literary critics and philosophers,Difference and Repetition develops two central concepts-pure difference and complex repetition-and shows how the two concepts are related. While difference implies divergence and decentering, repetition is associated with displacement and disguising. Central in initiating the shift in French thought away from Hegel and Marx toward Nietzsche and Freud, Difference and Repetition moves deftly to establish a fundamental critique of Western metaphysics. |
