A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

One brilliant book, although I am doubtful about the authenticity of the printing of the copy I received.

A very good for the discourse of new thought.

Excellent

The book came in poor condition. The cover was creased. Everything else as described . The book was new only the cover had an issue

Great book, excellent edition. A must-have.

The five star rating refers only to the pure philosophical rhizomatic wizardry of this book, needless to say it's very close to a life changing experience. Although, I'd recommend to get acquainted with the schizo excursions of "Anti-oedipus" first. The overall presentation of the 2013 Bloomsbury Revelations edition is great, the format is quite comfortable (it's noticeably bigger than the Continuum edition) and has nice cover design. But beware, there are way too many typos! It's very close to the threshold of unacceptability. It's quite a shame for Bloomsbury to publish such an exceptional book with so poor editorial job. This certainly won't stop me from completing it, but I won't be inclined to buy anything from the Bloomsbury Revelations series again.

My first major in college was French linguistics almost 50 years ago and wrote my thesis on Marcel Proust. In the mean time, I read almost all the books by Jean-Paul Sartre. He was my hero when I was in college. Later on, I was hooked on Michel Foucault for 20 years or so, who led me to Deleuze's works. Translating Deleuze into English is almost impossible, because there are so many concepts that can only be expressed in French, but "Thousand Plateus (which should have been plateaux, but it sounds funny in English) is very well translated and even comprehensible! I believe that the collaboration between Deleuze and Guatari has created one of the deepest synchronic-diachronic philosophical expression of the every aspect of philosophical life. You can start reading it from any chapter and and end in any place. Yet, you get the totality of what we are going through as "humans" at this point in our history. If you don't read much philosophical works, this is a treat for your mind.

In good condition. Wow, what a book!

I appreciate and value when a merchant accurately and honestly describes the condition of used books. This book arrived as described - some marking and highlighting in the first chapter but otherwise clean. This is wonderful, as it allows me to weigh the decisions involved in cost and condition. Thank you!
