Despite the fact that time, evolution, becoming and genealogy are
central concepts in Deleuze's work there has been no sustained study of
his philosophy in relation to the question of history. This book aims to
open up Deleuze's relevance to those working in history, the history of
ideas, science studies, evolutionary psychology, history of philosophy
and interdisciplinary projects inflected by historical problems. The
essays in this volume (all by internationally recognised Deleuze
scholars) cover all aspects of Deleuze's philosophy and its relation to
history, ranging from the application of Deleuze's philosophy to
historical method, Deleuze's own use of the history of philosophy, his
interpretations of other historical thinkers (such as Hume and
Nietzsche) and the complex theories of time and evolution in his work.
