This book is the result of postgraduate research at the University of Warwick. I am very grateful to have been immersed in the unique mix of Deleuzian ideas which animated the philosophy department throughout my time there. My thanks to Miguel de Beistegui, Keith Ansell-Pearson and Stephen Houlgate for making such an atmosphere possible.
My biggest thanks to my fellow researchers especially Stephen Barrell, Benjamin Berger, Justin Laleh and Peter Wolfendale for countless hours of intense discussion, shared confusion, and ambitious reading groups (a few of which even made it past the first chapter).
Thanks to Henry Somers-Hall and Beth Lord for their comments on the first draft, and to the staff and editors at EUP.
Dedicated to my parents for their unwavering, enthusiastic support.

References to Leibnizs philosophy appear constantly throughout Deleuzes work. Despite often repeating the same themes, we find marked differences in tone, as if Deleuze is unable to arrive at a conclusive judgement. This book explores these various engagements and tries to account for these shifts in tone. Ultimately it will argue that focusing on Deleuzes interpretation of Leibniz both his appropriations and his criticisms helps us to understand some key moments in Deleuzes own philosophical development. A close reading, emphasising the particular context and terminology of Leibnizs work, will open a narrow point of access into some of the most difficult areas of Deleuzes philosophy. In the course of this reading, it will become clear that it is precisely Leibnizs ambiguous status for Deleuze which makes an investigation into their relationship so fruitful: by not only explaining Leibnizs positive influence, but also pinpointing the precise grounds for their eventual divergence, we hope to better articulate some of Deleuzes own philosophical priorities.
Any close reading must thus begin by taking this ambiguous status seriously. There are two opposing tendencies that allow us to identify two distinct sides to Leibnizs philosophy, or indeed, the presence of two distinct Leibnizes, in Deleuzes readings. Leibniz, in fact, is not unused to undergoing such partitions. The first biography of Leibniz, in a eulogy by Bernard Fontenelle (the secretary of the Acadmie des Sciences in Paris upon Leibnizs death), likens his propensity for broad study to a charioteer expertly managing each of his horses. Fontenelles eulogy insists that we decompose and make many geniuses out of one Leibniz, a maxim which has generally set the standard for later scholarship. But where traditionally the lines of Leibnizs decomposition have been drawn according to discipline (Leibniz the philosopher, Leibniz the logician, Leibniz the mathematician, and so on), in Deleuzes reading we find Leibniz split by two opposing tendencies that are not only philosophical but also theological, moral and political.
