A new translation of two essential works on Deleuze, written by one of his contemporaries. From the publication of Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event to his untimely death in 2006, François Zourabichvili was regarded as one of the most important new voices of contemporary philosophy in France. His work continues to make an essential contribution to Deleuze scholarship today. This edition makes two of Zourabichvili's most important writings on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze available in a single volume. A Philosophy of the Event (1994) is an exposition of Deleuze's philosophy as a whole, while the complementary Deleuze's Vocabulary (2003) approaches Deleuze's work through an analysis of key concepts in a dictionary form. This new translation is set to become an event within Deleuze Studies for many years to come. Key Features: Distinguishes Deleuze’s notion of the event from the phenomenological, ontological and voluntarist conceptions that continue to lay claim to it todayWith an introduction by Gregg Lambert and Daniel W. Smith, two of the world's leading commentators on Deleuze, explaining the key themes and arguments of Zourabichvili's work François Zourabichvili has long been acknowledged as one of the finest French readers of Deleuze and the author of one of the most compelling ‘strong interpretations’ of Deleuze’s philosophy. This excellent translation of his two short books is a significant and welcome development in English language Deleuze scholarship. -- Paul Patton ― University of New South Wales A new translation of two essential works on Deleuze, written by one of his contemporaries AUTHOR APPROVEDSEEKING ENDORSEMENTSA new translation of two essential works on Deleuze, written by one of his contemporariesFrom the publication of his Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event (1994) to his untimely death in 2006, François Zourabichvili was regarded as one of the most important new voices of contemporary philosophy in France.
