The Signature of the World

Much contemporary philosophy has revelled in declaring the end of metaphysics, of ontology, and sometimes of philosophy itself. In sharp contrast, The Signature of the World is a forceful reminder of the power of philosophy and the need for a reinvention of metaphysics.

The Signature of the World focuses on one of the most influential works of contemporary philosophy: What is Philosophy? by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, their last joint work after the revolutionary texts, Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus.

The Signature of the World sets What is Philosophy? in the context of earlier work by the two theorists and the work of both analytic philosophers and continental theorists.
