A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze & Guattari. Paperback Univ. Minnesota 13th 2009
A wonderful translation of Deleuze and Guattari's seminal collection of essays by the University of Minnesota Press. A Thousand Plateaus is a bold foray into what it means to develop social and psychological analyses that are contemporary with our times. The authors' background affords this book a unique ability to invert the gnostic exegesis of Hegelian and Platonic philology, and forward instead a raw metaphysics that constructs the diagrammatic worldview and toolkit to think in terms of system, mechanism, and operative capacity.
