Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The eminent French philosopher "dialecticizes" five of the artist Jean-Luc Moul ne's objects with five conceptual formations from the history of Western philosophy.In this unique essay, first delivered as a lecture during a panel discussion with the artist and philosopher Reza Negarestani, Alain Badiou identifies and "dialecticizes" five of the artist Jean-Luc Moul ne's objects with five conceptual formations from the history of Western philosophy. Aristotle's complex of matter and form is called to mind to describe the inner logic of a hard foam sculpture. A bronze statue with holes activates Plato's notion of participation of the concrete world in the "injured Idea of the Beautiful." A small metallic and incomplete "angel" engages Leibniz's affirmation that "everything that exists is composed of an infinity of things." Badiou's musings go on to pair a broken and repaired plastic chair with Victor Hugo; a terrible hand made of concrete with the Freudian unconscious; and a large-scale "red and blue monster" with rudimentary mechanisms of the Cartesian cogito, the famous "I think, therefore I am," with unexpected inversions and variations.Badiou refrains, of course, from claiming that Moul ne thinks about any of these philosophers when making his specific works. What he points to, however, in this richly illustrated bilingual volume, is that the artist and his art are "on the side of philosophy." The eminent French philosopher dialecticizes five of the artist Jean-Luc Moulene's objects with five conceptual formations from the history of Western philosophy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A philosophical interrogation of the concepts of chance, contingency, and eternity through a concentrated study of Mallarme's poem"Un Coup de Des."A meticulous literary study, a detective story la Edgar Allan Poe, a treasure-hunt worthy of an adventure novel-such is the register in which can be deciphered the hidden secrets of a poem like no other. Quentin Meillassoux, author of After Finitude, continues his philosophical interrogation of the concepts of chance, contingency, infinity, and eternity through a concentrated study of Mallarme's poem "Un Coup de Des," patiently deciphering its enigmatic meaning on the basis of a dazzlingly simple and lucid insight with regard to Mallarme's "unique Number."The decisive point of the investigation proposed by Meillassoux comes with a discovery, unsettling and yet as simple as a child's game. The Number that "can be no other" can only be revealed to us via a secret code, hidden in the "Coup de des" like a key that finally unlocks every one of its poetic devices. Thus is also unveiled the meaning of that siren, emerging for a lightning-flash amongst the debris of the shipwreck- as the living heart of a drama that is still unfolding.With this bold new interpretation of Mallarme's work, Meillassoux offers brilliant insights into modernity, poetics, secularism, and religion, and opens a new chapter in his philosophy of radical contingency.The volume contains the entire text of the "Coup de des" and three other poems, with new English translations. A philosophical interrogation of the concepts of chance, contingency, and eternity through a concentrated study of Mallarme's poem Un Coup de Des.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Introductory collection of writings by a creative and subversive thinker, ranging from the origins of "non-philosophy" to its evolution into what Laruelle now calls "non-standard philosophy."The question "What is non-philosophy?" must be replaced by the question about what it can and cannot do. To ask what it can do is already to acknowledge that its capacities are not unlimited. This question is partly Spinozist- no-one knows what a body can do. It is partly Kantian- circumscribe philosophy's illusory power, the power of reason or the faculties, and do not extend its sufficiency in the shape of by way of another philosophy. It is also partly Marxist- how much of philosophy can be transformed through practice, how much of it can be withdrawn from its "ideological" use? And finally, it is also partly Wittgensteinian- how can one limit philosophical language through its proper use?This introductory collection of writings by creative and subversive thinker Fran ois Laruelle opens with an introduction based upon an in-depth interview that traces the abiding concerns of his prolific output. The eleven newly translated essays that follow, dating from 1985 to the present, range from the origins of "non-philosophy" to its evolution into what Laruelle now calls "non-standard philosophy." Two appendices present a number of Laruelle's experimental texts, which have not previously appeared in English translation, and a transcript of an early intervention and discussion on his "transvaluation" of Kant's transcendental method. Introductory collection of writings by a creative and subversive thinker, ranging from the origins of non-philosophy to its evolution into what Laruelle now calls non-standard philosophy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A fragmentary catalogue of poetic derangements that reveals the ways in which mania communicates with an extreme will to annihilationWhat kind of circumstances provoke an obsessive focus on the most minute object or activity? And what causes such mania toblossom into the lethal conviction that everything must be annihilated? There is no turning away from the imperative to study this riddle in all its mystifying complexity and its disturbing contemporary resonance-to trace the obscure passage between a lone state of delirium and the will to world-erasure.A fragmentary catalogue of the thousand-and-one varieties of manic disposition (augomania, dromomania, catoptromania, colossomania.),Omnicideenters the chaotic imaginations of the most significant poetic talents of the Middle East in order to instigate a new discourse on obsession, entrancement, excess, and delirium. Placing these voices into direct conversation, Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh excavates an elaborate network of subterranean ideas and interpretive chambers, byways, and burrows by which mania communicates with fatality. Like secret passages leading from one of the multitudinous details of a bustling Persian miniature to the blank burning immanence of the desert, each is a contorted yet effective channel connecting some attractive universe (of adoration, worship, or astonishment) to the instinct for all-engulfing oblivion (through hatred, envy, indifference, rage, or forgetting).A captivating fractal ofconceptual prisms in half-storytelling, half-theoretical prose, a rhythmic, poetic, insidious work that commands submission, Omnicideabsorbs the reader into unfamiliar and estranging landscapes whose everysubtle euphoricaspectthreatens to become an irresistible invitation to the end of all things. A fragmentary catalogue of poetic derangements that reveals the ways in which mania communicates with an extreme will to annihilation Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
