<i>A Thousand Plateaus</i> is the second part of Deleuze and Guattari''s landmark philosophical project, <i>Capitalism and Schizophrenia</i> - a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. Written over a seven year period, <i>A Thousand Plateaus</i> provides a compelling analysis of social phenomena and offers fresh alternatives for thinking about philosophy and culture. Its radical perspective provides a toolbox for ¿nomadic thought'' and has had a galvanizing influence on today''s anti-capitalist movement.
