  • Stop Thief!

    Anarchism and Philosophy

    Translated by Carolyn Shread ...
    Many contemporary philosophers – including Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Giorgio Agamben – ascribe an ethical or political value to anarchy, but none ever called themselves an “anarchist.” It is as if anarchism were unmentionable and had to be concealed, even though its critique of domination and of government is poached by the philosophers.Stop Thief! calls out the plundering of anarchism ...

  • Power of Gentleness

    Meditations on the Risk of Living

    Gentleness is an enigma. Taken up in a double movement of welcoming and giving, it appears on the threshold of passages signed off by birth and death. Because it has its degrees of intensity, because it is a symbolic force, and because it has a transformative ability over things and beings, it is a power.The simplicity of gentleness is misleading. It is an active passivity that may become an ... Read more

  • Pleasure Erased

    The Clitoris Unthought

    Translated by Carolyn Shread ...
    The clitoris was absent in anatomy books, in paintings and sculptures, absent in spirit and even body; it has long been the organ of erased pleasure. We assume that this oversight has been repaired in our times: today, the clitoris is not forgotten but honoured. Conferences, books, manifestos, works of art are all devoted to it. The autonomy of clitoral jouissance is recognized. The boundaries of ... Read more

  • Before Tomorrow

    Epigenesis and Rationality

    Translated by Carolyn Shread ...
    Is contemporary continental philosophy making a break with Kant? The structures of knowledge, taken for granted since Kant�s Critique of Pure Reason, are now being called into question: the finitude of the subject, the phenomenal given, a priori synthesis. Relinquish the transcendental: such is the imperative of postcritical thinking in the 21st century.Questions that we no longer thought it ... Read more

  • There Was No Revolution

    Reflections on Property, Power and the Servile Condition

    Translated by Carolyn Shread ...
    In her new book, Catherine Malabou argues that the French Revolution existed in name only, not in reality – privileges disappeared only on the surface and the old forms of domination persisted in structuring everyday life. And, sure enough, French citizens soon came to ask: "How is it that we are falling back into the same patterns of privilege and servitude?"In developing this argument, Malabou ... Read more
