Variations: The Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze cover

Jean-Clet Martin offers an insightful reading of Deleuze, from the point of view of a student, a reader and a fellow philosopher with whom Deleuze himself corresponded about his work. By providing a philosophical reading of Deleuze by a major philosophical peer, Martin offers the reader a unique analysis of Deleuze's texts. An opening letter-preface by Deleuze to Martin testifies to the confidence that Deleuze had placed in Martin's interpretation of his work.

Boundas and Dyrkton have rendered an invaluable service by opening access to Jean-Clet Martin's important response to the work of Deleuze, a response that combines both philosophical rigor and poetic elegance with an insistence on demonstrating and relaying the conceptual multiplicity at the heart of Deleuzian philosophy, rather than merely commenting on it. -- Eugene W.
