What is Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy of Transformation: Individuating the Line of Flight about?

Deleuze and Guattari’s Philosophy of Transformation is an original study of the radical transformative thought of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The book reveals the metaphysical underpinnings of Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy and shows how, beneath the many references to specific moments of transformation, Deleuze and Guattari provide a complex philosophical framework, specifically designed to treat transformative processes as constitutive of reality. Central to this study is an examination of the concept of the “line of flight” ( ligne de fuite ). By exposing the way in which this concept animates Deleuze and Guattari’s work, and by showing how it allows Deleuze and Guattari to theorise processes of radical transformation – from the evolutionary developments of biological species to the revolutionary breaks of political change – this book challenges readers with a novel vision of Deleuze and Guattari’s oeuvre as a methodical response to the philosophical problem of transformation.
