    Columbia University Press 2012; US$ 18.99

    In his best-selling book You Must Change Your Life!, Peter Sloterdijk argued exercise and practice were crucial to the human condition. In The Art of Philosophy, he extends this critique to academic science and scholarship, casting the training processes of academic study as key to the production of sophisticated thought. Infused with humor and provocative... more...

  • Constellation of Geniusby Kevin Jackson

    Random House 2012; US$ 26.69

    Ezra Pound referred to 1922 as Year One of a new era. It was the year in which a skinny, shabby Irishman and a natty, quietly sinister American entered the cultural landscape, hell-bent on exploding everything that realistic fiction and Georgian poetry held dear. It was the year which began with the publication of Ulysses and ended with the publication... more...

  • Feminist Consequencesby Elisabeth Bronfen; Misha Kavka

    Columbia University Press 2012; US$ 33.99

    Exploring the status of feminism in this "postfeminist" age, this sophisticated meditation on feminist thinking over the past three decades moves away from the all too common dependence on French theorists and male thinkers and instead builds on a wide-ranging body of feminist theory written by women. These writings address the question "Where are... more...

  • Simone de Beauvoir, Philosophy, and Feminismby Nancy Bauer

    Columbia University Press 2012; US$ 29.99

    In the introduction to The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir notes that "a man never begins by establishing himself as an individual of a certain sex: his being a man poses no problem." Nancy Bauer begins her book by asking: "Then what kind of a problem does being a woman pose?" Bauer's aim is to show that in answering this question The Second Sex dramatizes... more...

  • The Portable Kristevaby Kelly Oliver

    Columbia University Press 2010; US$ 28.99

    As a linguist, Julia Kristeva has pioneered a revolutionary theory of the sign in its relation to social and political emancipation; as a practicing psychoanalyst, she has produced work on the nature of the human subject and sexuality, and on the "new maladies" of today's neurotic. The Portable Kristeva is the only fully comprehensive compilation... more...

  • The Death of Philosophyby Isabelle Thomas-Fogiel; Richard Lynch

    Columbia University Press 2011; US$ 79.99

    Many philosophers have heralded the death of philosophy. Kant claimed responsibility for both its beginning and end, while Heidegger argued it concluded with Nietzsche. In the twentieth century, figures as diverse as John Austin and Richard Rorty have proclaimed philosophy's end, with some even calling for the advent of "postphilosophy." Transcending... more...

  • Social Accelerationby Hartmut Rosa; Jonathan Trejo-Mathys

    Columbia University Press 2013; US$ 34.99

    Hartmut Rosa advances an account of the temporal structure of society from the perspective of critical theory. He identifies three categories of change in the tempo of modern social life: technological acceleration, evident in transportation, communication, and production; the acceleration of social change, reflected in cultural knowledge, social... more...

  • Self and Emotional Lifeby Adrian Johnston; Catherine Malabou

    Columbia University Press 2013; US$ 31.99

    Adrian Johnston and Catherine Malabou defy theoretical humanities? deeply-entrenched resistance to engagements with the life sciences. Rather than treat biology and its branches as hopelessly reductive and politically suspect, they view recent advances in neurobiology and its adjacent scientific fields as providing crucial catalysts to a radical rethinking... more...

  • Derrida and the Future of the Liberal Artsby Mary Caputi; Vincent J. Del Casino

    Bloomsbury Publishing 2013; US$ 313.00

    Derrida and the Future of the Liberal Arts highlights the Derridean assertion that the university must exist 'without condition' - as a bastion of intellectual freedom and oppositional activity whose job it is to question mainstream society. Derrida argued that only if the life of the mind is kept free from excessive corporate influence and... more...

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 47.99

    Deleuze & Guattari: Emergent Law is an exposition and development of Deleuze & Guattari's legal theory. Although there has been considerable interest in Deleuze & Guattari in critical legal studies, as well as considerable interest in legality in Deleuze & Guattari studies, this is the first book to focus exclusively on Deleuze & Guattari and law.... more...
