It is no exaggeration when I say that I wish I had written Experience and Empiricism. Russell Ford has reconstructed the historical context in which Deleuze emerged as a philosopher and an original thinker. But Ford has done more. On the basis of the reconstructed historical context, he provides a penetrating reading of Deleuze first book, on David Hume's philosophy. Ford's Experience and Empiricism is a must read for anyone interested in twentieth century French thought. --Leonard Lawlor, author of Thinking through French Philosophy: The Being of the Question Often absorbing, clear, illuminating, and rich, Experience and Empiricism treats complex philosophical matters with admirable deftness and subtlety. --Mary Beth Mader, author of Sleights of Reason: Norm, Bisexuality, Development This book will transform how we understand Deleuze's relationship to empiricism. Offering a masterful close reading and a meticulous account of Deleuze's interpretation of Hume, Russell Ford demonstrates how this interpretation intervened in the major debates among French philosophical circles in the first half of the twentieth century. --Alan D. Schrift, author of Twentieth-Century French Philosophy: Key Themes and Thinkers
