Deleuze’s Difference and Repetition: An Edinburgh Philosophical Guide

When students read Difference and Repetition for the first time, they face two main hurdles: the wide range of sources that Deleuze draws upon and his dense writing style. This Edinburgh Philosophical Guide helps students to negotiate these hurdles, taking them through the text step by step. It situates Deleuze within Continental philosophy more broadly and explains why he develops his philosophy in his unique way. Seasoned Deleuzians will also be interested in Somers-Hall’s novel interpretation of Difference and Repetition.

Henry Somers-Hall is Lecturer in Philosophy at the Royal Holloway, University of London
