16 chapters by new and established Deleuze scholars each explore one key figure in Deleuze's philosophical heritageExplains the influence of 16 thinkers to Deleuze's philosophical project: how Deleuze draws on and responds to their workIntroduces important continental thinkers largely unknown in English-speaking countries, such as Henri Maldiney, George Dumézil, Charles Péguy and Pierre ClastresClarifies the synthetic method that Deleuze used to compose his most famous textsWill appeal to Deleuze scholars specialising in philosophy, literature and artFrom Lucretius to Schelling to Foucault, this book looks at 16 philosophers, writers and artists whose work influenced the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Each chapter introduces the thinker in question, explains the context in which Deleuze draws their work and discusses how it contributed to the development of Deleuze's own ideas.Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage II complements the original Deleuze's Philosophical Lineage volume by adding new voices to the discussion: looking at thinkers not covered by the first volume, intruducing well-known French philosophers to English-language Deleuze studies and reflecting the latest Deleuze scholarship.ContributorsMichael James Bennett, University of King's College, Canada.Ronald Bogue, University of Georgia, USA.Sean Bowden, Deakin University, Australia.Carlo Brentari, University of Trento, Italy.Kyla Bruff, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.Vlad Ionescu, Hasselt University, Belgium.Graham Jones, Federation University, Australia.Craig Lundy, Nottingham Trent University, UK.Paul Patton, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.Knox Peden, University of Melbourne, Australia.Jon Roffe, Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy, Australia.Edward Scheer, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.Daniel W.
