Anne Sauvagnargues is one of Deleuze’s best interpreters because she is also one of Guattari’s best interpreters, a combination that makes Artmachines one of the most significant books ever written on Deleuze and Guattari. In this wide-ranging set of essays, Sauvagnargues analyzes a host of Deleuze and Guattari’s most vital concepts. Along the way, she discusses the work of various thinkers who had a profound influence on Deleuze and Guattari, such as Simondon, Ruyer, Leroi-Gourhan, and Deligny. But above all, Artmachines reveals Sauvagnargues to be a pioneering thinker in her own right, forging a powerful philosophy of variation and individuation that is destined to make Sauvagnargues one of the preeminent figures in French philosophy.
