ABSTRACT
French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-95) has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most innovatory thinkers in an age increasingly preoccupied with the question of complexity. Indeed Michel Foucault once predicted that the twentieth century would be known as Deleuzian. Deleuze’s thought is a combination of commentary on other thinkersnotably Nietzsche and Foucault-and his own highly original investigations, suffused in his later work by the influence of his collaborator, the radical psychoanalyst Felix Guattari.
