'Benefitting from the recent publication of lectures by both Deleuze and Foucault, this is the first essay collection devoted to exploring the complex relations between two of the most important thinkers of our time. A must-read for scholars seriously interested in either Deleuze or Foucault.'
Eugene W. Holland, The Ohio State University
The first collection to delve deeply into the strong but disparate relationship between Deleuze and Foucault
It is well known that Deleuze and Foucault had a long, complicated and yet productive relationship in which each was at various times a significant influence on the other. This collection combines original essays by Deleuze and Foucault, in which they respond to each other's work, along with critical essays by key scholars working in the field.
The result is a sustained discussion and analysis of the various dimensions of this fascinating relationship which will clarify the implications of this important philosophical encounter.
