Deleuze was one of the key contemporary thinkers of the multiple and difference, two concepts on the basis of which it is possible to think the specificity of contemporary societies' differences and particular identities. The analysis of some of Deleuze's key works aims at showing the theoretical and political relevance of Deleuze's concepts such as repetition and difference, deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation for contemporary political thought. At the same time, the article considers the differences and similarities in Badiou's and Deleuze's political thought.
