Gilles Deleuze is perhaps best known for his influential works in philosophical interpretation, (Nietzsche and Philosophy, Expression in Philosophy: Spinoza); epistemology (The Logic of Sense); metaphysics (Difference and Repetition); and political economy (Capitalism and Schizophrenia). Because he never devoted an individual work to the subject of ethics, some scholars have assumed that Deleuze did not write about it, which explains in part why so few have directly addressed the ethical dimension of Deleuze's philosophy. Concepts such as ethics, values, and normativity however play a crucial - if subtle and easily overlooked - role in Deleuze's overall philosophical project. The essays in this collection explore, uncover, and trace the ethical dimension of Deleuzian philosophy along diverse trajectories and, in so doing, endeavour to reclaim that philosophy as moral philosophy.

Although Deleuze's philosophical work covered a remarkably wide range of subjects, the secondary literature on him has not been equally distributed; while his metaphysics and his aesthetics have each received substantial attention, his practical philosophy has been treated comparatively sparingly. This collection of eleven essays, many from notable Deleuze scholars, seeks to remedy this relative neglect, and succeeds in laying out the major themes of the field as well as indicating a number of avenues for future research.
