A thousand plateaus" is the second part of Deleuze and Guattari's landmark philosophical project, "Capitalism and Schizophrenia" - a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. Written over a seven-year period, "A thousand plateaus" 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.
