Summary

Philosophy After Deleuze provides a concise and accessible introduction to Deleuze in relation to philosophical inquiry. The book shows how Deleuze's work contributes to contemporary debates in each of the major areas of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy. Joe Hughes also examines philosophical method from a Deleuzian perpective, aiming to explain and justify Deleuze's often complex and challenging use of language by placing it within a discussion of the ends and methods of philosophical inquiry. He goes on to examine each of the major fields of philosophy through Deleuze's key concepts, showing how Deleuze challenges, articulates and contributes to contemporary debates in a way that has practical applications for anyone doing philosophy today. The book concludes with a chapter on bio-ethics, a field of emerging importance in both philosophy and Deleuze Studies. This is the ideal introduction to Deleuze for any student of philosophy.
