Reviews

The relationship between Bergson's and Deleuze's works has yet to be explored fully, and the author makes a strong case for a fundamental continuity in their thought. Her focus on them as advocates of a post-Kantian philosophy of transcendental experience brings to the fore the fundamental ontological and epistemological dimensions of their thought. - Ronald Bogue, author of Deleuze's Wake: Tributes and Tributaries
