In this outstanding series of essays, at times analytical, expository and explanatory, Lambert explores Deleuze and Guattari’s conception of geo-philosophy in the broader context of contemporary analytical and continental approaches. He provides an exemplary series of analyses of the nature of commentary, the fragmentary nature of contemporary thought, and key Deleuzian concepts such as the Other, desiring-machines and territory. This book is a must read for anyone interested in thinking with Deleuze and Guattari, Derrida, Lyotard and the philosophical canon.

Paul Patton, Hongyi Professor of Philosophy, Wuhan University

Drawing from his previous writings on the search for a new image of thought and the vitalist role of ‘conceptual personae’ in the history of philosophy, Gregg Lambert proposes a new geo-political image of thought that is uniquely commensurate with the globalisation of contemporary continental philosophy. Inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of geo-philosophy and Jean-Francois Lyotard’s archipelago of contemporary political reason, Lambert radically reorients the future direction of continental philosophy, no longer defined traditionally according to national and linguistic traditions and by the opposition with Anglo-American academic philosophy.
