# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Gilles Louis René Deleuze was born 18 January 1925 in France and spent four decades writing on philosophy, literature, film, and fine art. Much of his work consisted of close readings of the Stoics, Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Spinoza, and Bergson — building a metaphysics that found its fullest expression in Difference and Repetition (1968), widely considered his magnum opus. In 1972 he began his collaboration with psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, producing the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus (1980), which became his most widely read works. Though he once called himself a "pure metaphysician", his influence spread across the humanities and into post-structuralism and postmodernism. He died 4 November 1995.
