    A Theory of Rationality

    by Matthias Vogel ...
    Translated by Darrell Arnold ...
    Series Book 18 - New Directions in Critical Theory

In his view, the medium of language is not the only force of reason. Music, art, and other nonlinguistic forms of communication and understanding are also significant.

    by Julia Kristeva ...
    Translated by Jeanine Herman ...
    Series series European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism
    Julia Kristeva refracts the impulse to hate (and our attempts to subvert, sublimate, and otherwise process it) through psychoanalysis and text, exploring worlds, women, religion, portraits, and the act of writing.

Nomadic theory offers an original and powerful alternative for scholars working in cultural and social criticism and has, over ... Read more

    by Rodolphe Gasché ...
    Translated by Roland Végső ...
    Series series Cultural Memory in the Present

Gasché probes that anthropology by situating Bataille's thought with respect to the quatrumvirate of Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud. He begins by showing what ... Read more
