Description

By (author) Gilles Deleuze; By (author) Deleuze Gilles; By (author) Guattari, Felix

A Thousand Plateaus is the second part of Deleuze and Guattari”s landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia – a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. Written over a seven year period, A Thousand Plateaus provides a compelling analysis of social phenomena and offers fresh alternatives for thinking about philosophy and culture. Its radical perspective provides a toolbox for ‘nomadic thought” and has had a galvanizing influence on today”s anti-capitalist movement.
