Deleuze, G. Diferenca e Repetição: unofficial version of the book Difference and Repetition in Portuguese.

Difference and Repetition is a book written by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Originally published in 1968 in France under the title Différence et Répétition it was translated into English in 1994. Difference and Repetition was Deleuze's principal thesis for the Doctorat D'Etat alongside his secondary, historical thesis, Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza (published the same year). The work forwards a critique of representation. In the book, Deleuze develops the concepts of difference in itself and repetition for itself, that is concepts of difference and repetition that are prior to identity. It has been suggested that the book is Deleuze's attempt at a rewriting of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason from the point of view of genesis.
