----------------------------------

In the middle of the 20th century, when the French intellectual community was arguing over Marxism, existentialism and phenomenology, Deleuze was obsessed with Nietzsche's ideas. His monograph "Nietzsche and Philosophy" published in 1962 suddenly disturbed the nerves of the French intellectual community and opened the road to postmodernism in France. "Nietzsche and Philosophy" not only has a rigorous and systematic explanation of Nietzsche, but also incorporates the author's insightful and imaginative interpretation. Interpretation, for Deleuze, is repetition, repetition brings innovation, and repetition creates. Many of his later revolutionary ideas, including core concepts such as events, differences, repetition, generation, and temporality, can be found in this work. Therefore, this book can not only serve as a lens to glimpse the essence of Nietzsche's thoughts, but also a bridge to deeply understand Deleuze and even postmodern philosophy.

Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995), a French philosopher, was born in Paris, France in 1925. He studied at the Department of Philosophy of Sorbonne University in 1944, was appointed as a faculty member of Sorbonne University in 1957, and later taught at the University of Lyon and the University of Paris VIII, retiring in 1987. From the early 1950s to his death in 1995, he wrote a large number of articles on philosophy, literature, and film. Although he once called himself a "pure metaphysician", his works have influenced various fields of the humanities, including philosophy, art and literary theory, as well as poststructuralism and postmodernism.
