Reviews

Bennett displays a command of both the Greek authors and contemporary scholarship on their work, and a thorough familiarity with the Deleuze (and Guattari) texts under discussion ... [The] book is meticulously argued and will be appreciated by scholars of Hellenistic philosophy and anyone interested in a rigorous and comprehensive account of the impact Deleuze's engagement with ancient Greek philosophy-in particular Stoicism and Epicureanism-had on his philosophy. * CHOICE * Michael James Bennett's book is a new and important contribution ... [It] is an excellent book with much to recommend it to not only Deleuze scholars, but also to scholars of ancient Greek and Hellenic philosophy. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *


Bennett's combination ... not only avoids the strictures of chronology or methodology without sacrificing the rigour or insight of either, but in so doing demonstrates the philosophical (rather than just historical) significance of notions such as matter, motion, atoms, and bodies in antiquity. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Bennett displays a command of both the Greek authors and contemporary scholarship on their work, and a thorough familiarity with the Deleuze (and Guattari) texts under discussion ...
