My dissertation (which I’ll be defending this year) is on Gilles Deleuze. I think Deleuze is substantially correct about many things. At least, if there is no God then something like Deleuze’s ontology is probably the case. But, after many years of reading Deleuze, I think most people don’t need to read him.
Only read Deleuze if you’re deeply interested in the question of how meaning/sense/value could exist in a Godless world *and* only if you have the patience for a *very* technical, philosophical answer to that question.
If you do want to get into Deleuze, start with Jon Roffe’s ~100 pages summary of *Difference and Repetition* in his book *The Works of Gilles Deleuze, Vol. 1*. It’s very thorough, readable, with clear and memorable examples, and gives an idea of the unity of Deleuze’s project.
