    by Werner Hamacher ...
    Translated by Julia Ng, Anthony Curtis Adler ...
    Series series Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics
    Two Studies of Friedrich Hölderlin shows how the poet enacts a radical theory of meaning that culminates in a unique and still groundbreaking concept of revolution, one that begins with a revolutionary understanding of language.

  • Jean-Luc Nancy among the Philosophers

    by Irving Goh, Georges Van Den Abbeele, Emily Apter, Rodolphe Gasché, Werner Hamacher, Eleanor Kaufman, Ian Alexander Moore, Marie-Eve Morin, Timothy Murray, Jean-Luc Nancy0, John H. Smith1 ...
    Series series Perspectives in Continental Philosophy
    This volume focuses on the relational aspect of Jean-Luc Nancy’s thinking. As Nancy himself showed, thinking might be a solitary activity but it is never singular in its dimension. Building on or breaking away from other thoughts, especially those by thinkers who had come before, thinking is always plural, relational. This “singular plural” dimension of thought in Nancy’s philosophical writings ... Read more

  • On the Brink

    Language, Time, History, and Politics

    by Werner Hamacher ...
    Series series Philosophical Projections
    This collection of essays by one of the foremost figures in contemporary theory takes as its theme the edge or limit between language, time, history, and politics. These are essays that are all on the brink, the very extreme at which one can no longer define where one is located, neither on the cliff, say, nor over the edge. To be on the brink is to take up that extreme limit, the point of ... Read more

    Responses to Werner Hamacher's "95 Theses on Philology"

    by Werner Hamacher ...
    Series series Stages
    Werner Hamacher’s witty and elliptical 95 Theses on Philology challenges the humanities—and particularly academic philology—that assume language to be a given entity rather than an event.

  • Minima Philologica

    by Werner Hamacher ...
    Translated by Catharine Diehl, Jason Groves ...
    Series series Idiom: Inventing Writing Theory
    Minima Philologica brings together two essays by Werner Hamacher that are meant to revitalize philology as a practice beyond its restriction to the restoration of linguistic data and their meanings. In these two texts, “95 Theses on Philology” and “For—Philology,” Hamacher propounds a notion of generalized philology that is equivalent to the real production of linguistic utterances, and indeed ...

  • Why I am so very unFrench, and other essays

    by Jacques Bouveresse ...
    Series series Philosophie de la connaissance
    For those like myself, who found the politico-philosophical terrorism beginning its reign at the beginning of the 1960s intolerable, analytic philosophy in contrast could not but offer the comforting image of what a democratic philosophical community should be: civilized and tolerant, where all citizens equally must offer arguments and be willing to listen to and discuss possible objections. This ... Read more

  • Strange Wonder

    The Closure of Metaphysics and the Opening of Awe

    by Mary-Jane Rubenstein ...
    Series series Insurrections: Critical Studies in Religion, Politics, and Culture
    Strange Wonder confronts Western philosophy's ambivalent relationship to the Platonic "wonder" that reveals the strangeness of the everyday. On the one hand, this wonder is said to be the origin of all philosophy. On the other hand, it is associated with a kind of ignorance that ought to be extinguished as swiftly as possible. By endeavoring to resolve wonder's indeterminacy into certainty and ... Read more

    sic 2

    Translated by Sina K. Najafi ...
    by Mladen Dolar, Alenka Zupancic ...
    Series Book 2 - [sic] Series
    The Cartesian cogito—the principle articulated by Descartes that "I think, therefore I am"—is often hailed as the precursor of modern science. At the same time, the cogito's agent, the ego, is sometimes feared as the agency of manipulative domination responsible for all present woes, from patriarchal oppression to ecological catastrophes. Without psychoanalyzing philosophy, Cogito and the ... Read more

  • Derrida and Deconstruction

    Edited by Hugh J. Silverman ...
    Series series Continental Philosophy
    The effects of Derrida's writings have been widespread in literary circles, where they have transformed current work in literary theory. By contrast Derrida's philosophical writings--which deal with the whole range of western thought from Plato to Foucault--have not received adequate attention by philosophers.
