Review Quotes:
"John Paetsch's Deleuze's Philosophy of Time and Logic joins the work of Zourabichvili in the front rank of Deleuze criticism. But Paetsch also gives us an original work of philosophy in itself, one in which the traditional labyrinth of the composition of the continuum is subjected to profound philosophical revaluation. Sensitive to the history of philosophy as well as the contexts of the arts and sciences, Paetsch pursues a new type of philosophy inspired by the work of Gilles Deleuze." --O. Bradley Bassler, Associate Professor, Emeritus, Department of Philosophy, University of Georgia, US
"A rare work that reads as beautifully and energetically as it thinks, Deleuze's Philosophy of Time and Logic is a tour de force of conceptual invention. Philosophically exacting and charged with an insurgent, scintillating vitality, this book reconsiders logic in light of time's heterogeneity." --Václav Paris, University of Padua, Italy
