The Seminars of Jacques Derrida

HeideggerThe Question of Being & HistoryTranslated by Geoffrey Bennington

“For those who are prepared, this text makes for absorbing reading. . . . Because it dates from the early years of Derrida’s career and because it is a series of classroom lectures, this book serves as a helpful preparation for reading the more intri-cate and playful texts that he published in the late 1960s and beyond. It also shows just how indebted Derrida is to Heidegger.”—Los Angeles Review of Books2016 288 p. 6 x 9 16 halftones, 3 tables 1 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-35511-5 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume IITranslated by Geoffrey Bennington

“What Derrida seeks to highlight in both De-foe’s and Heidegger’s texts is the precariousness and fragility of the purportedly stable borders demarcating the human from the animal. The fantasy of sovereign solitude is always secretly feeding off the bestial other it wants to ban-ish.”—Times Literary Supplement2011 320 p. 6 x 9 2 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-47853-1 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

The Death Penalty, Volume ITranslated by Peggy Kamuf

“What is certain is that this Death Penalty volume offers a rich, innovative approach to a confounding topic. One can only hope that it will be broadly read and debated.”—Los Angeles Review of Books2013 312 p. 6 x 9 3 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-14432-0 $38.00 Your Price: $30.40

About the Beginning of the Hermeneutics of the SelfLectures at Dartmouth College, 1980Michel FoucaultTranslated by Graham BurchellEdited by Henri-Paul Fruchaud and Daniele Lorenzini

“These lectures certainly indicate the continu-ities in Foucault’s thought from the genealogical analyses of the 1970s, principally Discipline and Punish and The History of Sexuality, with his later studies associated with the care of the self. . . . A fluid and carefully annotated transcription of four texts that deepen our understanding of Foucault’s idiosyncratic use of ancient ethics and what he thought we might learn from it.”—Notre Dame Philosophical Review2015 160 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 4 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-18854-6 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

Cultural GraphologyWriting after DerridaJuliet Fleming

“Fleming extends and fulfills Derrida’s vision of a quasi-totalizing science of writing. Moving from grammatology to graphology, she shows how trace, mark, supplement, signature, and other terms figure in an open-ended project embracing poetry, cultural theory, book design, psycho-analysis, and media studies.”—Tom Conley, Harvard University2016 176 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 12 halftones 6 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-39042-0 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Heidegger and the Myth of a Jewish World ConspiracyPeter TrawnyTranslated by Andrew J. Mitchell

“You don’t spend years working your way through Being and Time because you’re idly interested. You do it because you think that, by reading it, you might learn something precious and indispensable. The Black Notebooks, however seriously you take them, are a betrayal of that ardency. They make it harder to care about—and, therefore, to really know—Heidegger’s ideas. Even if his philosophy isn’t contaminated by Nazism, our relationship with him is.”—New Yorker, on the German edition2016 160 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 7 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-30373-4 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

The Distressed BodyRethinking Illness, Imprisonment, and HealingDrew Leder

“Leder here offers a truly creative and compel-ling study of the nature of distressed embodi-ment. He identifies one of the key culprits in the mistreatment of humans and animals to be the Cartesian-rooted notion that a fundamental di-vide exists between mind and body. This, Leder argues, often leads people to consider our own and others’ bodies as passive, commodifiable, machine-like, and/or alien.”—Kirsten Jacobson, University of Maine2016 304 p. 6 x 9 9 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-39610-1 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Human PredicamentsAnd What to Do about ThemJohn Kekes

“In this latest set of reflections on the human condition, Kekes displays all the philosophical virtues for which his work is rightly esteemed. Mistrusting schematic answers and monolithic solutions, and drawing on a rich array of sources and examples, he addresses the manifold puzzles of our existence with an unfailingly calm and judicious reasonableness.”—John Cottingham, University of Reading2016 256 p. 6 x 9 10 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-35945-8 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

How Should We Live?A Practical Approach to Everyday MoralityJohn Kekes

“The writing is lucid, careful, tenacious, and al-ways accessible. . . . The book’s overall message is a kind of hymn to ground floor, practical reason, which allows us to ‘live reasonably in the context of civilized societies in a plurality of ways.’ ”—Notre Dame Philosophical Review2014 264 p. 6 x 9 11 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-15565-4 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Peter B. Lewis describes and explains all the major events, as well as the philosopher’s ideas on the meaning of life, the nature of art, religion and morality.Distributed for Reaktion Books

A Fragile LifeAccepting Our VulnerabilityTodd May

“Would that all academics wrote as clearly as Todd May! He’s a real teacher, who proves that much, if not all, of what’s expressed in abstruse prose can be said in a manner that any attentive mind can readily understand. A Fragile Life is a clear and honest exploration, illustrated by help-ful stories, of how we should think about our vulnerability to suffering.”—Scott Samuelson, author of The Deepest Human Life2017 272 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 13 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-43995-2 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

A Significant LifeHuman Meaning in a Silent UniverseTodd May

“A thoughtful, widely accessible, and com-prehensive account of meaning in life. . . . I especially recommend [May’s] work in virtue of it being a ‘good read’, avoiding technicalities and reflecting on everyday examples with insight. It would be ideal to assign for an upper-level undergraduate course or to share as a gift with reflective friends and family outside the acad-emy.”—Notre Dame Philosophical Review2015 240 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 14 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-42104-9 $18.00 Your Price: $14.40

A Long SaturdayConversationsGeorge Steiner with Laure AdlerTranslated by Teresa Lavender Fagan

Addresses questions that have absorbed Steiner over his career, but in a more personal register than he has offered before. Adler draws out Steiner on his boyhood in Vienna and Paris before the war, on his education at Chicago and Harvard, and on his early academic career. Steiner and Adler’s conversation ranges also over music, chess, psychoanalysis, the place of Israel in Jewish life, and much more.2017 144 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 16 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-35038-7 $22.50 Your Price: $18.00

Morality for HumansEthical Understanding from the Perspective of Cognitive ScienceMark Johnson

“The book straddles the divide between ques-tions in moral psychology—What values do we have? Where did they come from? What role does reason play in moral deliberation?—and questions of normative and metaethics—From where do values get genuine normative author-ity? How do we properly rank our values when they compete with each other?”—Notre Dame Philosophical Review2014 280 p. 6 x 9 17 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-32494-4 $21.00 Your Price: $16.80

Freedom RegainedThe Possibility of Free WillJulian Baggini

“Baggini is that happy thing—a philosopher who recognizes that readers go glassy-eyed if presented with high-octane philosophical discourse. And yet, as his latest book, Freedom Regained, makes clear, it is in all our interests to consider crucial aspects of what it means to be human.”—Guardian “While firmly rooted in the philosophical tra-dition, Baggini also gets out and talks to people for whom freedom—and lack of it—is a real and pressing matter.”—Literary Review2015 240 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 19 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-31989-6 $27.50 Your Price: $22.00 OBE

Jacques LacanA Critical IntroductionMartin Murray

“Murray combines the historical, the biographi-cal, and the conceptual with an adroitness not often exemplified in introductory treatments. Particularly compelling is Murray’s attention to the early period of Lacan’s personal and intellectual life, as revealed in discussion of the formative relationship to Lacan’s work of sur-realism and the thought of philosopher Georges Bataille.”—ChoiceDistributed for Pluto Press

Negative CertaintiesTranslated by Stephen E. Lewis

Praise for the French edition:“If certain knowledge is impossible, must we condemn ourselves to hazardous understandings and skepticism? For Marion, there is a third way, through negative certainty.”—Libération “Marion loosens our Borromean knots: the human enigma, the mystery of God, and the unknown of birth as well as death, are so many inexplicable events. Negative Certainties, his lat-est book, questions the very possibility of these impossibilities.”—Le MondeReligion and Postmodernism

BiopowerFoucault and BeyondEdited by Vernon W. Cisney and Nicolae Morar

“This will be the definitive volume on biopower for decades to come.”—Leonard Lawlor, Penn State University “One of the volume’s strongest features is its dissemination of the concept of biopower beyond Foucault’s use of it. Topics as diverse as the life sciences, the birth of statistics, contem-porary medicine, HIV prevention, race, gender, and the Arab uprisings are all examined from the viewpoint of the concepts of biopower and biopolitics, demonstrating their continuing rel-evance.”—Daniel W.

On the Happiness of the Philosophic LifeReflections on Rousseau’s Rêveries in Two BooksHeinrich MeierTranslated by Robert Berman

“[A] dense but precise and enthralling analy-sis.”—New Yorker “[Meier] presents a startlingly original inter-pretation of one of Rousseau’s most beautiful and elusive works—the Reveries. His interpreta-tion is sure to be controversial, but it is presented with an elegance, intensity, and thoroughness that will command the attention of all serious Rousseau scholars and those broadly interested in the history of political philosophy.”—Susan Meld Shell, Boston College2015 400 p. 6 x 9 2 halftones 28 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-07403-0 $50.00 Your Price: $40.00

The Powers of Pure ReasonKant and the Idea of Cosmic PhilosophyAlfredo Ferrarin

“Ferrarin’s illuminating and compelling study should be viewed as essential reading not only for those with a specific interest in the many timely subjects there discussed but also for anyone seeking a fresh appraisal of the accom-plishment and promise of Kant’s oeuvre as a whole.”—Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews “Throughout this rich, erudite, and provoca-tive work, Ferrarin seeks to illuminate ‘the pow-ers of reason and the compatibility between our finitude and reason’s essence as a priori synthesis and activity.’ ”—Kantian Review2015 352 p. 6 x 9 29 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-41938-1 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Kant’s OrganicismEpigenesis and the Development of Critical PhilosophyJennifer Mensch

“Mensch’s attempt to interpret Kant’s transcen-dental philosophy in relation to eighteenth-cen-tury life sciences is original and exciting. . . . Mensch convincingly shows that questions concerning the origin of cognitions strongly informed Kant’s philosophy. This result is important, since many philosophers, often oper-ating in the wake of Peter F. Strawson’s analytic Kant interpretation, have ignored these types of questions when studying Kant.”—International Studies in the Philosophy of Science2013 258 p. 6 x 9 1 halftone 30 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-27151-4 $27.00 Your Price: $21.60

Hegel’s Theory of IntelligibilityRocío Zambrana

“By refocusing attention on Hegel’s modernism and on his conception of determinacy, Zam-brana provides a new impetus for the renaissance in research on Hegel’s Science of Logic.”—Dean Moyar, Johns Hopkins University “Zambrana engages Hegel’s modernity precisely at the point where his thought is usually taken to regress most. Far from serving up a sophisticated recycling of some kind of pre-critical rationalist ontology, as is so often assumed, the Science of Logic becomes the site where Hegel’s modernist credentials are most sharply revealed.”—Rebecca Comay, University of Toronto2015 208 p. 6 x 9 35 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-28011-0 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Orientation and Judgment in HermeneuticsRudolf A. Makkreel

“Draws together Makkreel’s own hermeneutical thinking as developed over many years, and does so in a way that provides both a unified vision of hermeneutics in its philosophical context and of hermeneutics in its historical development.”—Notre Dame Philosophical Review “Full of interesting exegetical and philosophi-cal discussion of major themes in the devel-opment of philosophical hermeneutics since Kant.”—Journal of the History of Philosophy “Makkreel re-inscribes the Kantian power of critique and self-criticism within the interpretive dynamic of a contextualized understanding.”—Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology2015 248 p. 6 x 9 32 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-24931-5 $50.00 Your Price: $40.00

Light in GermanyScenes from an Unknown EnlightenmentT. J. Reed

InteranimationsReceiving Modern German PhilosophyRobert B. Pippin

“Brings together thinkers from an impressive va-riety of traditions around Hegel and Nietzsche. The fascination of seeing one mind respond to people as diverse as McDowell, Strauss, and Žižek is what really makes this book stand out, and I know of no one today other than Pippin who could write it.”—John McCumber, Univer-sity of California, Los Angeles “Every reader who cares about the problems and prospects of modernity will find stimula-tion, provocation, and remarkable inspiration in these pages.”—R.

Wittgenstein and ModernismEdited by Michael LeMahieu and Karen Zumhagen-Yekplé

“The absence of extensive debate about the fruitfulness of reading Wittgenstein through the lens of the idea of modernism—and vice versa—is notable to anyone with even a casual interest in these matters. This book creates a space in which those cross-readings can happen, and I can’t imagine a more successful attempt at doing so.”—Alice Crary, author of Inside Ethics2017 336 p. 6 x 9 39 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-42040-0 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Nietzsche’s EarthGreat Events, Great PoliticsGary Shapiro

“An incisive, innovative, provocative, and above all enlightening reading of Nietzsche’s work in light of some contemporary challenges, includ-ing the Anthropocene, the war on terror, the clash of civilizations, the end of nature, and the sixth extinction. These readings, or what Shapiro calls ‘philological investigations,’ reveal an impressive, extensive, and secure knowledge of the Nietzschean corpus as well as the secondary literature.”—Eduardo Mendieta, Pennsylvania State University2016 264 p. 6 x 9 41 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-39445-9 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

Nietzsche’s Journey to SorrentoGenesis of the Philosophy of the Free SpiritPaolo D’IorioTranslated by Sylvia Mae Gorelick

On the French edition:“This book is the detailed description of a metamorphosis, a break in the life and thought of Nietzsche, a ‘crisis’ from which the birth of the ‘philosophy of the free spirit’ was born.”—Libération “Philosopher Paolo D’Iorio restores step by step, document after document, nearly word for word, the genesis (and regenesis) of the Nietzs-chean transformation.”—Philosophie Magazine2016 168 p. 6 x 9 34 halftones 42 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-16456-4 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

The Philosophy ScareThe Politics of Reason in the Early Cold WarJohn McCumber

“McCumber’s analysis opens up space for long-overdue debates about the effects of the Cold War on US philosophic thought and intellectual life more generally. Focusing on the infamous administrative fearmongering and intrusive regulation in the UCLA Department of Philosophy’s hiring practices makes vivid the strategies used to institutionalize Cold War philosophy.”—Sandra Harding, University of California, Los Angeles “[McCumber] employs Kuhn and Foucault positively and Reichenbach negatively to show how American academies responded to anti-communist fearmongering by touting ‘objective science’ and ‘dispassionate’ rationality as the essential preferences of real educators.”—Robert C.

Arendt and AmericaRichard H. King

“King’s great contribution to the literature on Arendt is to show, in fine-grained terms, how her political theory was the result of a quintessential-ly American experience: to arrive on American shores an immigrant, to draw on resources from both an old country and a new, imagined one, and to participate in the riot of reinvention.”—Los Angeles Review of Books “A detailed history of Arendt’s intellectual milieu in the United States, moving between her published writings, reviews and correspon-dence.”—Times Literary Supplement2015 416 p. 6 x 9 48 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-31149-4 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Tunguska, or the End of NatureA Philosophical DialogueMichael HampeTranslated by Michael Winkler

On the German edition:“It’s no coincidence that Paul Feyerabend has the last word in the clever, vividly written, and humorously staged dialogues. His ideas and arguments, Hampe suggests, could advance modern debates on climate change or ecologi-cal destruction. Wouldn’t that be nice!”—Neue Zürcher Zeitung2014 240 p. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 5 halftones, 5 line drawings 44 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-12312-7 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

The Philosophy of AutobiographyEdited by Christopher Cowley

“In this enlightening work Cowley marries the disciplines of philosophy and literature. The essays discuss the ‘I’ of autobiography and of the fluid, fragmented postmodernist subject. There is the solitary self as proposed by Descartes and the self in relation to the other. The contribu-tors of the ten essays draw on authors who have paved the way in the field of autobiography—e.g. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Philippe Lejeune, Sidonie Smith, Roland Barthes, and Serge Doubrovsky.”—Choice “A fascinating and important volume, full of the excitement of a newly emerging field and remarkable for the richness and diversity of its case studies.”—Peter Lamarque, author of The Opacity of Narrative2014 272 p. 6 x 9 49 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-26792-0 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Thoughts and ThingsLeo Bersani

“Bersani offers essays dealing with the meta-physical question of relations: of authors to their readers, of authors to other authors, of the mind to the body, of citizens to the state, of gender to personal identity, and so on. . . . Decidedly non-analytic in its approach, Bersani’s argument rests principally on analyses of films and literary works.”—Choice “Embedded in this meditation are brilliant readings of a number of individual books, essays and films.”—Kaja Silverman, University of Pennsylvania2015 128 p. 6 x 9 50 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-20605-9 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

RootednessThe Ramifications of a MetaphorChristy Wampole

“A wonderful exploration of the root metaphor and the notion of rootedness in Western culture and, more particularly, in twentieth-century France and Germany.”—Gerald Prince, University of Pennsylvania “Wampole convincingly shows that root-edness is a pervasive literary, political, and philosophical theme that keeps resurfacing in a host of connected contemporary issues, includ-ing questions of nationhood in the globalized, multicultural context of identity politics; ideas of memory and tradition in immigrant cultures; and dialectics of localism and universalism in the postcolonial world.”—Elie During, University of Paris Ouest-Nanterre2016 288 p. 6 x 9 51 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-31765-6 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

A Philosophy of TragedyChristopher Hamilton

“Aims for a perspective that will account for the permanent condition of tragedy and for the specific contours of tragedy today. This sets the book apart from a growing industry of more self-orientated accounts which seek to tell us how to find meaning in our fallen world. Its guiding question is not ‘how can I find meaning in the world?’ but ‘who am I as I write philosophy?’ ”—Times Literary SupplementDistributed for Reaktion Books

“Lucid and wide-ranging book. . . . Revenge tragedies, Vietnam war films, Samuel Beckett’s plays, the novels of William Golding and Philip Roth, Goya’s series The Disasters of War and Picasso’s Guernica—all these works and many others figure in Sim’s analysis of pessimism. . . .

Torture and DignityAn Essay on Moral InjuryJ. M. Bernstein

“Raises a number of important issues in moral philosophy and moral practice in a way that is original and highly engaging. Bernstein is a brilliant writer whose passion and conviction come across vividly and persuasively in a breadth of styles and approaches, which is so unusual in contemporary ethics. In this work we see a philosopher engaged in analysis and argument, but also literature, phenomenology, memoir, law, the history of ideas, and public policy.”—Robert Stern, author of Understanding Moral Obligation2015 408 p. 6 x 9 54 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-26632-9 $50.00 Your Price: $40.00

Education and EqualityDanielle Allen

“Allen boldly confronts the core question about education in a democratic society: What is its es-sential purpose? Only after answering that ques-tion can we move to the next question: What kind of education should we deliver? Her an-swers are deep yet pragmatic. Only by enabling students to develop their capacities, particularly in language, can we ready them for the work of citizens.”—Hunter R. Rawlings III, president of the Association of American Universities “Amid the heated national debates about equality and efficiency in education, many peo-ple have been groping for a clear sense of what education should actually accomplish.

The Aims of Higher EducationProblems of Morality and JusticeEdited by Harry Brighouse and Michael McPherson

“Brighouse and McPherson marshal leading phi-losophers to discuss not just the usual economic benefits of higher education (though that notion figures into most of the discussions) but also how morality and justice fit into it. . . . Contributors in the volume emphasize developing definite character traits and skills in students and help-ing students learn which experts to trust; they also emphasize the need for student and faculty diversity—not just for signaling justice but for epistemological uses as well.”—Choice2015 192 p. 6 x 9 2 line drawings 59 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-25948-2 $27.50 Your Price: $22.00

“An illuminating analysis of affirmative action that straddles political philosophy and phi-losophy of education.”—Rob Reich, Stanford University “A unique book on affirmative action, one that sees this polarizing topic through the lens of deliberative democratic theory, as an opportuni-ty for civic dialogue among those with divergent opinions that can strengthen democracy. . . .

A Democratic Theory of JudgmentLinda M. G. Zerilli

“Zerilli, combining both continental and analytic traditions in philosophy, gives a power-ful case for the role of truth and objectivity in democratic political judgment, one attuned to the irreducible plurality of democratic societies. It is a vital contribution to what is arguably the central question of democratic political philoso-phy: What is democratic reasoning?”—Jason Stanley, Yale University “Zerilli speaks to anyone concerned with the peculiarities of democratic deliberation and action.”—John G.

The collection as an ordered and integrated whole builds a massively compel-ling case and model for the recovery of an art of reading whose ‘naïveté’ is in fact the energetic receptivity to authors whose works reach out, subtly and seductively, for partners in revelatory dialogue.”—Thomas L.

Political Philosophy and the Challenge of Revealed ReligionHeinrich MeierTranslated by Robert Berman

Heinrich Meier’s guiding insight is that philoso-phy must prove its right and its necessity in the face of the claim to truth and demand obedience of its most powerful opponent, revealed religion. Philosophy must rationally justify and politi-cally defend its free and unreserved questioning, and, in doing so, turns decisively to political philosophy.2017 224 p. 6 x 9 73 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-27585-7 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Kierkegaard and Political TheoryReligion, Aesthetics, Politics and the Intervention of the Single IndividualEdited by Armen Avanessian and Sophie Wennerscheid

Søren Kierkegaard’s radical protestant philoso-phy of the individual has become a model for many contemporary political theorists. The contributors here convincingly position Kierkeg-aard’s radical philosophy as the starting point for contemporary political theory. They show how he pioneered a modernity defined as an argu-ment—an experience—of the impossibility of rationally comprehending a system of thinking. They show how religious and aesthetic experi-ences function as a response to this impossibility.Distributed for Museum Tusculanum Press

Gershom ScholemAn Intellectual BiographyAmir Engel

Gershom Scholem (1897–1982) was ostensibly a scholar of Jewish mysticism, yet he occupies a powerful role in today’s intellectual imagi-nation, having an influential contact with an extraordinary cast of thinkers, including Hans Jonas, Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Han-nah Arendt, and Theodor Adorno. In this first biography of Scholem, Amir Engel shows how Scholem grew from a scholar of an esoteric discipline to a thinker wrestling with problems that reach to the very foundations of the modern human experience.2017 240 p. 6 x 9 8 halftones 91 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-42863-5 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

A must-read for every student and scholar interested in new media and digital culture.”—José van Dijck, University of Amsterdam2017 224 p. 6 x 9 1 halftone, 1 table 108 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-43821-4 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Dark Matter of the MindThe Culturally Articulated UnconsciousDaniel L. Everett

“Everett draws on his own deep insights gained from living and working in non-Western cul-tures in order to make a powerful argument for the influence of culture on unconscious forces that underlie human behavior and the indi-vidual’s sense of self.”—Elena Levy, University of Connecticut2016 400 p. 6 x 9 6 halftones, 18 line drawings, 2 tables 109 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-07076-6 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Acquaintance, Knowledge, and LogicNew Essays on Bertrand Russell’s The Problems of PhilosophyEdited and with an Introduction by Donovan Wishon and Bernard Linsky

Appetites for ThoughtPhilosophers and FoodMichel OnfrayTranslated by Donald Barry and Stephen Muecke

“Only a Frenchman could have written so delec-tably about food and philosophy.”—Independent “Packed densely with ideas. It’s like a serving of fancy tapas: misleadingly small little dishes, but rich and filling once you consume them.”—PopMattersDistributed for Reaktion Books

Plato & Co. From Diaphanes

“Where existing philosophy books for children typically focus on surveys of ideas or broad histori-cal overviews, the Plato & Co. books take a more ‘storied’ approach. They take isolated events in the lives of the philosophers to illustrate their theories, aiming to teach a philosophical theory through the experience of reading a traditional picture book.”—Publishers Weekly

The History of Continental PhilosophyEdited by Alan D. Schrift

“While Gilles Deleuze complained that ‘the history of philosophy plays a patently repressive role’ in philosophical education, this out-standing eight-volume work will have the opposite effect on readers. It opens up new vistas and possibilities by bringing canonical figures (Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Derrida), the necessary supporting cast (Herder, Schelling, Kierkegaard, Peirce), and marginal voices (Freud, Dostoevsky, utopian socialists, black existentialists) often given short shrift in less comprehensive histories into sharp focus.”—Choice2010 8 volumes 3040 p. 6 x 9 112 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-74046-1 $924.00 Your Price: $249.00 NSA

Philosophers at TableOn Food and Being HumanRaymond D. Boisvert and Lisa Heldke

“Boisvert and Heldke are proceeding from our shared, lived experience as people with stomachs, so prior familiarity with the work of Immanuel Kant and Rene Descartes is not needed. The book is carved with that crisp, clear precision common to academic philosophy texts, never advancing any idea an inch without a concise explanation of its origin.”—PopmattersDistributed for Reaktion Books
