"Gregg Lambert has written a quite excellent book on Deleuze and Guattari. It provides a series of fascinating and highly instructive insights into their critical engagement with Marxism and psychoanalysis and shows the continuing relevance of their critique. Along the way Lambert offers valuable insights into Deleuze's relation to figures such as Heidegger and Whitehead and indicates the importance of Deleuze's early essay on instincts and institutions for a full appreciation of his remarkable intellectual trajectory. The sprightliness of the book is testimony to the fact that Deleuze is the most original and innovative philosopher of our times, a thinker who sought to be equal to philosophical events. One can only applaud Lambert's effort to be equal to Deleuze's event." --Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick "Polemical, erudite and incisive, Gregg Lambert's latest book provides a major re-evaluation of the significance of Deleuze and Guattari's work for literature, psychoanalysis and politics. Lambert engages Jameson, Zizek, Hardt and Negri with an intimate understanding of Deleuze and Guattari's concepts. This is a fine piece of work.


" --Philip Goodchild, Associate Professor, Religious Studies, University of Nottingham "Praise for The Non-Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (Gregg Lambert): 'A smart, fast, witty book which surveys Deleuze's philosophy with an intellectual agility, a sparkling intelligence, and an effortless command of film, post-Cartesian philosophy, psychoanalysis and literature in several languages.' Jean Michel Rabate, University of Pennsylvania 'Full of thoughtful, at times brilliant reflections on the current state of theory and its relation to the world.' Dorothea Olkowski, University of Colorado Praise for Anti-Oedipus (Deleuze and Guattari): '. a rare and remarkable book, which offers us a new metaphysics' TLS Praise for A Thousand Plateaus (Deleuze and Guattari): 'A major philosophical work by perhaps the most brilliant philosophical mind at work in France today.' Frederick Jameson 'Highly original and sensational.' Hayden White" -- Blurb from reviewer.
