Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event

Together with The Vocabulary of Deleuze

Franois Zourabichvili
Edited by Gregg Lambert and Daniel W. Smith Translated by Kieran Aarons
A new edition of Zourabichvilis seminal works, published together for the first time. This edition makes available in a single volume Zourabichvilis most important writings on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event (1994) and Deleuzes Vocabulary (2003). More than simply defining terms, Zourabichvili uses the form of the glossary to stage a series of pointed confrontations within contemporary Continental philosophy. Its pages are as filled with polemics against Deleuzes hasty disciples and avid competitors as much as refutations of Deleuzes critics and detractors. Moreover, Zourabichvili makes an essential contribution to the ongoing debates of Deleuzes philosophy by singling out the three most controversial topics: univocity, creative vitalism and the event. From the publication of his Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event (PUF, 1994, 2004) until his untimely death in 2006, franois zourabichvili was regarded as one of the most important new voices in contemporary philosophy in France and one of Deleuzes most prominent commentators.
