Gilles Deleuze's book Essays Critical and Clinical comprises literary analyses that play an important role in his philosophical project. Throughout his career, Deleuze incorporated analyses of literary figures alongside discussions of philosophers. For Deleuze, art and philosophy are both creative enterprises of thought that think in different mediums - artists think in percepts and affects through mediums like words, images, and sounds, while philosophers think through the formation of concepts.

The book collects both previously published and new essays analyzing authors through a philosophical lens.
