Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential and revolutionary philosophers of the 20th century. Francis Bacon was widely regarded as one of the most radical painters of the 20th century. This book presents a deep engagement with Bacon's work and the nature of art.
Presents a comprehensive overview of Alain Badiou's ambitious system. Beginning with Badiou's controversial assertion that ontology is mathematics, this volume sets out his theory of the emergence of truths from the singular relationship between a subject and an event. It provides an introduction to one of the great thinkers of our time.
This volume re-evaluates Greek mythology, throws a harsh new light on the invention of democracy, and exposes Platonic harmony to be an ideal driven by a peculiarly masculine fear of death.
Explores the differences between the theory of the sublime in the thought of Nietzsche, Kant, Fichte and Schopenhauer, offering an introduction to Nietzsche's position in the philosophical tradition.

Henri Lefebvre is recognised as one of the influential social theorists of the Twentieth Century. This book presents a range of Lefebvre's thought. It reinforces the centrality of Lefebvre to debates in social and spatial theory, but also sets Lefebvre's work in the context of his philosophical and political concerns.
Examining key issues in the philosophy of logic, mind and language, this book proposes grounds for a different era of cooperation and mutual interrogative exchange between the two schools of thought. It explores both traditions alongside one another in order to point up certain contrasts or communities of interest.

A feminist critique of the accounts of "Being" found in some of the key texts of existentialism and phenomenology, in particular Sartre, Levinas and Merleau-Ponty. Knowing the other as beloved is intimately related to a changing perception of the other of the cosmos.

An English translation of one of Heidegger's most important early lecture courses, including his most extensive treatment of the topic of destruction. It helps to understand the early development of Heidegger's thought.
Slavoj Zizek is not alone in thinking that Alain Badiou's recent work is "the event of contemporary philosophy". Think Again, the first publication of its kind, goes a long way towards justifying his assessment.
A translation of this classic account of the art of memory and the logic of linkage and combination, the two traditions deriving from the Classical world and the late medieval period, and becoming intertwined in the 16th Century. From this intertwining emerged a tradition, a grandiose project for an 'alphabet of the world' or 'Clavis Universalis'.
Henri Bergson (1859-1941) wrote seminal texts on topics that remain at the heart of current philosophical inquiry, such as time, consciousness, and evolution. This volume acts as a textbook and a helpful source book for philosophers working across the analytic/continental divide.
Many Freudian analysts have attempted to link the writings of Nietzsche with the clinical work of Freud. This text reconstructs Freud's encounter with Nietzsche, his personal interpretations and the contribution of Nietzsche's champions. He also examines the thematic similarities between the two.
Paul Virilio identifies the Gulf War as a turning point in history, the last industrial and the first information war. Virilio then goes on to argue that we live in a world of global spatio-temporal collapse, and one which seems to preclude the possibility of negotiation and diplomacy.
This is a subtle discussion of the relationship between sexuality and epistemology. It analyses the ways in which male philosophers conceive of women and how their masculine concepts of women enter philosophy.
Presenting an original global theory of culture, Girard explores the social function of violence and the mechanism of the social scapegoat. His vision is a challenge to conventional views of literature, anthropology, religion and psychoanalysis.
