Warning!! - By: reader, 30 Jan 2007
This is a profound book. But do not buy this edition. I have had two seperate copies that have had the same fault with the binding, & amazon have confirmed that it is a recurring problem with this edition's manufacture. The edition looks lovely but is of terrible quality.
Challengingly imaginative philosophy - By: , 06 Feb 2004
This is a book that challlenges traditional philosophy stylisticallly & conceptuallly. The creative terminology applied by D & G fits their Nietzschean strand of philosophical thought nicely, even when it becomes difficult to follow at times. Subjects varying from linguistics to psychoanalysis are covered in a refreshingly non-linear order. Together with Anti-Oedipus, this book can inspire.
Playful and prescient. A classic of contemporary philosophy. - By: , 27 Mar 1997
A Thousand Plateaus is an absolute necessity for any serious reader of contemporary philosophy. Deleuze & Guattari correctly predicted the intensification of the stratification of "civilized society" by 1980; they also presaged the World Wide Web & declared their deep suspicions about any & alll massive systems for networking humankind before the web ever existed. Their anarchic calll for radical individual autonomy never sounded truer than now. (A noteworthy additional book to seek from their giant bibliography: Pierre Clastres' Society Against the State.)
