Edward Thornton is a researcher and historian of philosophy whose work concerns the broad question of how different systems of thought interact with power. He has special interests in the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and the history of Institutional Psychotherapy. Recently he has been investigating the burgeoning field of plant philosophy. He is the author of several journal articles including in Deleuze and Guattari Studies, Journal of Transcendental Philosophy, Hypatia and The European Legacy.
A masterful genealogy of one of the leitmotifs of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy. Thornton demonstrates with lucidity and erudition the double genesis of the line of flight in the works of both Deleuze and Guattari, developing in the process a compelling reading of their work as a whole.--Henry Somers-Hall, Royal Holloway, University of London By turning to the concept of ""line of flight"", Edward Thornton gives us a remarkably clear and provocative reading of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy of transformation, showing along the way how their philosophy also serves as a model for how one could put a philosophy of transformation into practice.--Jeffrey Bell, Southeastern Louisiana University Thornton's bold hypothesis is that Deleuze and Guattari initiated a great thaw in attempting to unfreeze Western philosophy. He cogently shows how they put philosophy into a state of continuous variation by developing a philosophy that requires perpetual conceptual change. True to transformation, Thornton seeks consistencies rather than frosting over mutations.--Gary Genosko, Ontario Tech University
