Editing Gilles Deleuze (section)

=== Early life ===
Gilles Deleuze was born into a middle-class family in Paris and lived there for most of his life. His mother was Odette Camaüer and his father, Louis, was an engineer.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Beckman |first=Frida |title=Gilles Deleuze: Critical Lives |publisher=Reaktion Books |year=2017 |isbn=9781780237770 |pages=15}}</ref> His initial schooling was undertaken during World War II, during which time he attended the [[Lycée Carnot]]. He also spent a year in ''[[khâgne]]'' at the [[Lycée Henri IV]]. During the [[Nazi occupation of France]], Deleuze's brother, three years his senior, Georges, was arrested for his participation in the [[French Resistance]], and died while in transit to a concentration camp.<ref>[[François Dosse]], ''Gilles Deleuze and [[Felix Guattari]]: Intersecting Lives'', trans. Deborah Glassman (New York: Columbia University Press, 2010), p. 89.</ref> In 1944, Deleuze went to study at the [[University of Paris|Sorbonne]]. His teachers there included several noted specialists in the history of philosophy, such as [[Georges Canguilhem]], [[Jean Hyppolite]], [[Ferdinand Alquié]], and [[Maurice de Gandillac]]. Deleuze's lifelong interest in the canonical figures of modern philosophy owed much to these teachers.
