作为《资本主义与精神分裂》的续作，本书将前作《反—俄狄浦斯》中已然肇始的思想实验向更为开放而宽广的领域推进：地质学、生物学、史学、神话学、数学，等等，都成为真正的思想—“根茎”的蔓生之地。而盘踞于传统思想模式中的种种“层”、“编码”、“超越性平面”、“纹理化空间”等，则伴随着这场激动人心的实验进程而渐次烟消云散。全书散布着一座座流播强度的“高原”，而多元性、异质性的连接则成为它们之间彼此沟通的横贯线。但在乱花迷人眼的表象之下，全书却流淌着纯正的哲学血液，因为它所致力于的正是德勒兹一以贯之的信念：哲学，就是概念的创造，就是新思想方式的创生。

A Thousand Plateaus continues the work Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari began in Anti-Oedipus and has now become established as one of the classic studies of the development of critical theory in the late twentieth century. It occupies an important place at the center of the debate reassessing the works of Freud and Marx, advancing an approach that is neither Freudian nor Marxist but which learns from both to find an entirely new and radical path. It presents an attempt to pioneer a variety of social and psychological analyses free of the philosophical encumbrances criticized by postmodern writers. A Thousand Plateaus is an essential text for feminists, literary theorists, social scientists, philosophers, and others interested in the problems of contemporary Western culture.

-- Times Higher Education Supplement</P><br/> Nietzsche and Philosophy has long been recognized as one of the most important accounts of Nietzsche's philosophy, acclaimed for its rare combination of scholarly rigour and imaginative interpretation. Yet this is more than a major work on Nietzsche: the book opened a whole new avenue in post-war thought. Here Deleuze shows how Nietzsche began a new way of thinking which breaks with the dialectic as a method and escapes the confines of philosophy itself.</P>
