Craig Lundy takes us on an unprecedented exploration of the interior of Deleuze's philosophy. Starting from a remarkable reading of Deleuze’s Bergsonism, Lundy shows with great clarity how Deleuze’s main concepts started taking shape here and to what extent his entire oeuvre remained infused by the ideas he developed in this book dedicated to Bergson. Lundy’s book is at once a magnificent introduction to Deleuze’s thought and much more than that. By revisiting the question of Bergsonism in Deleuze’s terms, Lundy highlights the invention of an entire philosophical scene whose relevance for today he means to reclaim.
