I introduce the thought of Gilles Deleuze through his 1968 book, Difference and Repetition. I look at Deleuze's basic concepts - especially difference, repetition and the virtual; his relationship to philosophers like Spinoza and Kant; and how he provides some of the ontological foundations for other 'poststructural' or postmodern theorists like Foucault and Derrida.I also look at the relationship between the virtual, the Idea and the multiplicity - all important concepts for understanding the rest of Deleuze's work. This introduction should serve to give a fuller understanding of ideas like the Rhizome, the haecceity and 'lines of flight' that are a large part of his later work with Félix Guattari - a Thousand Plateaus. Most importantly, I try to make understanding Deleuze as simple as possible!
