| Description: |
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. 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. |
| 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. |
