Review Quotes: Mohavedi's book is not only a groundbreaking analysis of Deleuze's reading of Leibniz but is an original work of philosophy in its own right, proposing a novel concept of "divergent continuity" that opens up new directions for the philosophy of the future. A masterful tour de force.--Daniel W. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University
