16 chapters by new and established Deleuze scholars each explore one key figure in Deleuze's philosophical heritage Explains the influence of 16 thinkers to Deleuze's philosophical project: how Deleuze draws on and responds to their work Introduces important continental thinkers largely unknown in English-speaking countries, such as Henri Maldiney, George Dum zil, Charles P guy and Pierre Clastres Clarifies the synthetic method that Deleuze used to compose his most famous texts Will appeal to Deleuze scholars specialisting in philosophy, literature and art From Lucretius to Schelling to Foucault, this book looks at 16 philosophers, writers and artists whose work influenced the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Each chapter introduces the thinker in question, explains the context in which Deleuze draws their work and discusses how it contributed to the development of Deleuze's own ideas. Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage II complements the original Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage volume by adding new voices to the discussion: looking at thinkers not covered by the first volume, intruducing well-known French philosophers to English-language Deleuze studies and reflecting the latest Deleuze scholarship.
