Gilles Deleuze (Great Thinkers)

Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995)

Gilles Deleuze gives us a sophisticated account of what happens to truth and ethics in a system that does not rely on God–and his thought makes visible how our society understands everything from knowledge and truth to sexuality and identity.

Christopher Watkin, a scholar of French literature and philosophy, presents Deleuze’s work in a way that is accessible to non-philosophers and brings his writing into sustained conversation with prominent biblical themes and with motifs from Reformed theology. As you engage with Deleuze’s thought, you will discover a model of cultural engagement that you can use to understand any contemporary or historical thinker or school.
