"...fascinating and important...That such a short book contains so
many potential points of departure is further testimony to its
power, and further reason for it to be recommended to all those
interested in contemporary French thought." -Notre Dame
Philosophical Reviews, September 2005
"Continuum Press is or is near the center of the publication of
works by major Continental thinkers: Luce Irigaray, Gilles Deleuze
and Félix Guattari, Henri Lefebrve, Paul Virilio, Michael Foucault,
Martin Heidegger, and Theodor Adorno...some of its subsidiary
series like the ‘Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers' series,
and the ‘Continuum Studies in Continental Philosophy' are where one
looks to find the likes of the ‘new Heideggerians' or the ‘new
Deleuzians': those younger philosophers having more recently
completed their apprenticeships with the skilled masters and now
setting their own philosophical compasses by problems left unsolved
or inserted into philosophical futurality by those very teachers.
Eric Alliez is among the ‘new Deleuzians'. This book follows his
enormously influential Capital Times: Tales from the Conquest of
Time (1996)...the specific challenge and the very heart of this
book is Alliez' grappling explicitly with the very question of how
to ‘philosophize' in the wake of Deleuze and Guattari's harsh
lessons in What is Philosophy? regarding that very question."
-Karen Houle, Philosophy in Review
