Reviews

Much more than a guide to Deleuze and Guattari's last work, this rich and insightful book unpacks key themes of Deleuze's earlier work. Bell shows how his conception of philosophy engages with the history of philosophy and connects it with elements of contemporary Analytic philosophy. This is essential reading for every serious student of Deleuze.--Paul Patton, University of New South Wales Australia Bell's book is not only a guide to What is Philosophy?, but a critical introduction to Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy as a whole. Bell writes with an admirably clear and lucid prose, and even long-time readers of Deleuze will find much in his analyses that is challenging and thought-provoking. A rich and rewarding book.--Daniel W. Smith, Purdue University
