STEVEN SHAVIRO Without Criteria: Kant, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Aesthetics

PREORDER

"In this work of great poise and deep insight Steven Shaviro draws a new and important diagram of the relations between the philosophies of Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze. In so doing, he opens up novel and productive lines of enquiry for each thinker, most notably in the field of aesthetics. This is a book of mature and yet quick-witted philosophical critique with ramifications through many contemporary problems and debates (in philosophy, critical theory, theology and aesthetics—to name but some). Very few readers will fail to be touched and excited by the ideas he develops with free-ranging boldness tempered by an appropriate aesthetic feel and tact. Shaviro achieves the extraordinarily difficult task of combining thoughtful rigour, intellectual generosity free of resentments and compartments, and carefully argued textual interpretation."

ERIN MANNING Relationscapes: Movement, Art, Philosophy

PREORDER

 

"Relationscapes proposes a new and systematic rethinking of movement which at the same time revitalizes classic questions in esthetics and philosophy: how does force engender forms, how do forms capture force, how does movement engender itself, what is the space-time of movement's incipience, what is the new, what is a gesture? The analysis is subtle and finely woven. The author's movement of thought seamlessly unfolds before the reader, bringing into emergence a world of teeming intensities and forces. Movement, perception, body, image, time, space, rhythm, all of these notions are reformulated at the crossroads of art and philosophy. A scintillating book, of great power and originality."
—José Gil, Department of Philosophy, New University of Lisbon
