About the Book

This is the first book to use complexity theory to open up the ‘geophilosophy’ developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus, Anti-Oedipus and What is Philosophy?. Written by a philosopher and a geographer in a clear style, with a practical orientation and interdisciplinary focus, the Guide enables readers to grasp the basics of complexity theory (the study of self-organisation and emergence in material systems), while the Glossary eases the difficulty of applying this science to Deleuze and Guattari’s often perplexing terminology. Deleuze and Geophilosophy is thoroughly pragmatic: it asks not what the earth means, but how it works. It provides a common conceptual framework within which physical and human geographers can work together alongside other social scientists, cultural studies practitioners, and philosophers in interdisciplinary teams to explore the entangled flows, lines, grids, and spaces of our world. The book will be of interest to all those working in disciplines at the intersections of culture, nature, space, and history: anthropology, art and architecture theory, communication studies, geography, Marxism and historical materialism, philosophy, postcolonial theory, urban studies, and many other disciplines.Key Features:*Explores a new aspect of Deleuzian thought - 'geophilosophy' (geography & philosophy) *The first part of the book explains the basics of complexity theory*Half of the book is a Glossary which helps readers with Deleuze and Guattari's perplexing terminology*Emphasis on ‘bodies politic’ in geophilosophy and complexity theory which has never before been linked in such a way

About the Author :
Mark Bonta is Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences at Penn State Altoona. He is a leading proponent of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze as applied to geography pedagogy and to theories of spatial complexity. John Protevi is Associate Professor of French Studies at Louisiana State University. He is the author of Time and Exteriority (Bucknell, 1994); and Political Physics (Athlone, 2001); the editor of The Edinburgh Dictionary of Continental Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 2005); and co-author, with Mark Bonta, of Deleuze and Geophilosophy (Edinburgh, 2004). He is currently working on a book on ‘political physiology’ that will combine cognitive science and post-structuralism.

Review :
Bonta and Protevi have really done a remarkable job of making Deleuze and Guattari's challenging material more accessible for their broadening readership. The glossary is a much-needed contribution to geography as well as scholarship on Deleuze and will undoubtedly prove useful to neophyte and jedi alike. Key categories and concepts are lucidly discussed … the book ends with an interesting and helpful appendix. Timely and indispensable. A most valuable book of great use to students of Deleuze and Guattari.
