Description
Book SynopsisWhilst both of these leading French philosophers of post-structuralism have been widely studied, little has been done to examine the relation between them. The contributors to this collection explore and compare their work via a number of key themes.
Trade Review"a fascinating study of the similarities and differences between the two philosophers and in particular the ethical and political threads underlying their connection. "-Critical Horizons, September 2003
"...this is an important book, provoking us to explore what Delezue calls the zone of indiscernibility—the region lacking simple identity or opposotional difference—between these two important thinkers." -Philosophy in Review, 12/03 -- Jack Reynolds and Jon Roffe
"This fine collection examines tensions and similarities between the views of Deleuze and Derrida...The articles take various approaches to these topics, and this results in interesting overlaps that nicely elucidate nuances and complexities in the thought of each philosopher, as well as their intellectual relationship....This book should be of value to theologians, philosophers of religious, and ethicists, as well as anyone interested in either Deleuze or Derrida." -Religious Studies Review, 01/04 -- George Aichele * Religious Studies Review *
