20世纪50、60年代，法国知识界正在为马克思主义、存在主义和现象学争论不休的时候，德勒兹却为尼采的思想所痴迷。他在1962年发表的专著《尼采与哲学》突然搅乱法国知识界的神经，开启了法国的后现代主义之路。这部专著可以与德国哲学家马丁•海德格尔的三卷本巨著《尼采》相媲美，成为20世纪尼采研究的巅峰之作。
面对尼采这样一位满怀激情、思想深邃而且最终疯狂的哲学家，要理解他到底说了什么，绝非一件容易的事情。如何诠释尼采，取决于如何阅读他的作品。德勒兹为诠释尼采提供了一个极其精彩的范例，《尼采与哲学》不单有对尼采的严谨系统的阐述，同时还糅入了作者富含创见和想象力的解释。解释，对于德勒兹，就是重复，以重复出新，以重复创造——重复是形成差异的唯一通道。他后来的许多创见，包括事件、差异、重复、生成、时间性在内的核心概念，都能在这部作品中找到最初的萌芽。故而，此书不但可以作为窥尼采思想精髓的透镜，亦是深入了解德勒兹乃至后现代哲学的桥梁。
