At last available in paperback, this book anticipates and explains the post-structuralist turn to empiricism. Presenting a challenging reading of David Hume's philosophy, the work is invaluable for understanding the progress of Deleuze's thought.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Deleuze's treatment of the importance of the imagination in Hume's philosophy, together with the value of the associative mechanism, is highly commendable.
(Auslegung )Review
Anticipates much of Deleuze's own thought -- his discussions of identity, difference, repretition, sense, totality, imagination...For those concerned to see the emergence of a distinctive contemporary thought (as Foucault termed it: 'the age of Deleuze'), this book is essential

5.0 out of 5 stars
super duper,
This review is from: Empiricism and Subjectivity (Paperback)
an excellent intro to deleuze. the book speaks of motivation, subjectivity, and habit, praising hume's empiricism and theory of mind. latter deleuze texts are oft' full of fanciful prose, but this one is clear and concise. the thesis: the blank slate, nothing is innate, except habit. the habit of habit.
