Bell’s book is not only a guide to What is Philosophy?, but a critical introduction to Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy as a whole. Bell writes with an admirably clear and lucid prose, and even long-time readers of Deleuze will find much in his analyses that is challenging and thought-provoking. A rich and rewarding book.
