Beschreibung:
Williams offers us a remarkable book - not only has he produced a Critical Introduction to the famous (and famously difficult) three syntheses of time, he has also invested in its implications to show us its centrality as a 'process philosophy of time'. This book renews the meaning of Deleuze's early philosophy and invites the reader to rethink its relation to the promise of a new future in his later work with Guattari.
