Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy cuts to the heart of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and of today science wars.At the start of the 21st Century, Deleuze is now regarded as the most radical and influential of contemporary philosophers. Yet his work is widely misunderstood and misinterpreted. Here Manuel DeLanda does what the growing host of Deleuzians have failed to do--he makes sense of Deleuze for both analytic and continental thought, for both science and philosophy.

Revue de presse

'[A] highly original...book...The structure of the book is simple, with four chapters devoted to mathematics, space, time, and physics, respectively. Quarrels over Deleuzian terminology are banished to a very helpful appendix...DeLanda has certainly rendered this territory more palpable to the analytically oriented.' -- Leslie Dema, University of Guelph, Canada, Journal of The European Legacy, (Vol 11, No. 6)

'...Manuel DeLanda's Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy ...an exceptionally wrought and detailed investigation of Deleuze's philosophy in relation to contemporary debates in science, including the 'new science' of complexity theory...exceptional. DeLanda is and has been for many years one of the best explicators of Deleuze...his skill in this area is very much in evidence in his most recent book.' -- Marcel Swiboda Immanence
