Letter from the teamThis year, we’ve decided that the world is not enough! We’re launching a host of new series and boldly going into new areas which we’re sure you will love, from worldlessness to future worlds, and from ancient philosophy to the people to come.

Edinburgh Critical Guides to Nietzsche, led by Keith Ansell-Pearson and Daniel Conway, brings Nietzsche’s writings to life for students, teachers as well as scholars. You’ll find the 14 volumes on page 4. Contemporary Continental philosophy comes into conversation with the history of philosophy in our Cycles series edited by Andrew LaZella and Richard A. Lee. Adriel Trott’s book Aristotle on the Matter of Form launches the series on page 30. Intersections in Continental and Analytic Philosophy (page 8), edited by Jeffrey Bell, Paul Livingston and James Williams, addresses key philosophical problems by drawing from work in both traditions. The series opens with Language and Process by Michael Halewood. And make sure you check out the call for proposals for Refractions, which brings together philosophy and art history (page 54).

We have a groundbreaking reference volume for philosophers, literary theorists, critics and scholars of contemporary fiction: New Directions in Philosophy and Literature edited by David Rudrum, Ridvan Askin and Frida Beckman. Find out more on page 61.

Other books not to be missed include Arjen Kleinherenbrink’s dynamite Against Continuity (page 23), the kaleidoscopic Fictioning by David Burrows and Simon O’Sullivan (page 53) and Roland Végső’s provocative Wordlessness After Heidegger (page 35). There is much to enjoy!

A critical introduction and guide to one of Nietzsche’s pivotal but lesser-known textsHuman, All Too Human marks the beginning of what is often called Nietzsche’s middle or positivist period (which ends with the conclusion of Book IV of The Gay Science). It initiates some important features that become permanent in his work, such as his experiments in multiple writing styles within one work, his self-representation as a psychologist, his genealogical excavations of morality and his appeal to fellow Europeans to overcome the parochialism and antagonism of nationalism.

• Devotes a chapter to each of Human, All Too Human’s 9 chapters, plus a chapter each on ‘Assorted Opinions and Maxims’ and ‘The Wanderer and Its Shadow’ – originally published as separate works

• Assumes no prior knowledge or Nietzsche or Human, All Too Human

Reconsiders Hegel’s system from the perspective of contemporary philosophyWes Furlotte critically evaluates Hegel’s philosophy of human freedom in terms of his often-disregarded conception of nature.

Language and ProcessWords, Whitehead and the WorldMichael Halewood, University of Essex• Looks at the relation of language to the world using ideas from

Alfred North Whitehead, plus analytic philosophy, continental philosophy and social theory

• Relates its arguments to Speculative Realism and the problem of the ‘correlationist circle’

• Discusses philosophers including Locke, Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Whitehead, Deleuze, Dewey, de Beauvoir, Foucault, Marx, Irigaray, Meillassoux and Harman

Combines the insights of different traditions to find new solutions to philosophical problemsThe books in this series will bring together work in the analytic and the continental traditions in philosophy. These traditions have until recently been thought of as separate, if not irreconcilable. These books will show how we can effectively address key philosophical problems by drawing from work in both traditions. The intersections on display here will demonstrate the strength and vitality of a pluralist approach to philosophy, as well as its wide relevance to contemporary philosophical concerns.

Translates seminal works on Spinoza by Continental scholars into English for the first timeSpinoza Studies’ mission is to challenge and expand English-language Spinoza scholarship. These Continental philosophers explore Spinoza’s most important themes in detail – that right is coextensive with power, that every political order is based on the power of the multitude, the critique of superstition and the rejection of the idea of providence – opening up new possibilities for reading and interpreting Spinoza.

Last LecturesCollège de France 1968 and 1969Émile Benveniste, Collège de FranceEdited by Jean-Claude Coquet, Université de Paris VIII, and Irène Fenoglio, CNRSTranslated by John E. Joseph, University of EdinburghThe first English translation of the last lectures of the leading French linguist Emile Benveniste

Benveniste’s lectures had a shaping influence on a generation of scholars that includes Barthes, Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, Kristeva and Todorov and here, for the first time, these are made available in English for a new generation of linguists and philosophers of language.

Benveniste’s work as offered here presents the first serious attempt at reconciling the sign theories of Saussure and Peirce and draws together, language, writing and society into a comprehensive theory of signifying. Benveniste’s philosophy of language considers key concepts such as utterance, enunciation, speaker, discourse, subjectivity and as such is central to the areas of discourse analysis, text linguistics, pragmatics, semantics, conversational analysis, stylistics and semiotics.

• Translates the full course of 15 lectures that Émile Benveniste gave in the Collège de France between December 1968 and December 1969

• Represents the first serious attempt at reconciling the sign theories of Saussure and Peirce

Speculative GrammatologyDeconstruction and the New MaterialismDeborah Goldgaber, Louisiana State University

Puts Derrida into conversation with Speculative Realism for the first timeLooking mainly at Derrida’s early work – Of Grammatology, Voice and Phenomenon and Writing and Difference – Deborah Goldgaber shows that grammatology implies an original form of philosophical materialism. She identifies the salience of this deconstructive materialism to contemporary philosophy.

• Shows that Derrida’s claims that writing pertains to more than just language extend to living and material processes

• Highlights the productive resources that Derrida’s notion of writing offers contemporary materialism, including work by Catherine Malabou, Bernard Stiegler and Karen Barad

• Challenges Speculative Realists’ diagnosis of deconstruction as correlationism

The Life IntenseA Modern ObsessionTristan Garcia, Université de Picardie Jules VerneTranslated by Abigail RayAlexander, University of Southern Indiana, Christopher RayAlexander, University of Southern Indiana, and Jon Cogburn, Louisiana State University

Analyses our modern obsession with intense experiences in terms of the metaphysics of intensityOur lives today are oppressed by the demand that we live, feel and experience with ever greater intensity. We are enticed to try exotic flavours and smells; urged to enjoy a wide range of sexual experiences; pushed to engage in extreme sports and recreational drugs – all in the pursuit of some new, unheard-of intensity.

Tristan Garcia argues that such intensity rarely lives up to its promise. It always comes at a price: one that defines the ethical predicament of contemporary life.

The notion of intensity was the hidden key to Garcia’s landmark book Form and Object. In The Life Intense, the first part of his ambitious Letting Be trilogy, he begins to develop it in detail. This first book focuses on ethics; the forthcoming two books look at politics and metaphysics respectively.

Against ContinuityGilles Deleuze’s Speculative RealismArjen Kleinherenbrink, Radboud University Nijmegen

Radically repositions Deleuze as a forerunner to Speculative Realism‘I have walked away from this book feeling that I need to rethink everything I thought I knew about Deleuze and read his work again with fresh eyes. I’ve been studying and teaching Deleuze for 25 years.’ – Levi Bryant, Collin College

Against Continuity is the first book to demonstrate that the beating heart of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy is a systematic ontology of irreducible, singular entities. This is a radical break from decades of Deleuzian orthodoxy, which holds that Deleuze’s metaphysics revolves around the dissolution of discrete entities into a continuous world of flows and events.

• Critically compares Deleuze’s ontology to 7 related contemporary thinkers: Levi Bryant, Manuel DeLanda, Graham Harman, Maurizio Ferraris, Tristan Garcia, Markus Gabriel and Bruno Latour

SERIES

Brings recent insights in cognitive science to bear on the distributed nature of cognition, spanning from antiquity to the mid-20th centuryCognitive science is finding increasing evidence that cognition is distributed across brain, body and world. This series calls for a reappraisal of historical concepts of cognition in light of these findings. This 4-volume reference work gives a wide-ranging examination of the parallels (and divergences) from these models in cultural, philosophical and scientific works.This series opens up our reading of Western European works in the fields of history of ideas, history of science, material culture and literary studies.

HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

Lucretius IAn Ontology of MotionThomas Nail, University of Denver

The most original and shocking interpretation of Lucretius in the last 40 years

Thomas Nail argues convincingly and systematically that Lucretius was not an atomist, but a thinker of kinetic flux. In doing so, he completely overthrows the interpretive foundations of modern scientific materialism, whose philosophical origins lie in the atomic reading of Lucretius’ immensely influential book De Rerum Natura.This means that Lucretius was not the revolutionary harbinger of modern science as Greenblatt and others have argued; he was its greatest victim. Nail re-reads De Rerum Natura to offer us a new Lucretius – a Lucretius for today.

• A new materialist, quantum and feminist interpretation of Lucretius

• Argues the original and provocative thesis that Lucretius was not an atomist but rather the first philosopher of motion

• The most original and shocking interpretation of Lucretius since Michel Serres’ The Birth of Physics

Worldlessness After HeideggerPhenomenology, Psychoanalysis and DeconstructionRoland Végsö, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Argues for abandoning the very idea of the world in both philosophy and politics

Opening with a reconsideration of the Heideggerian critique of worldlessness, Roland Végsö traces the overlooked history of worldlessness in the works of Hannah Arendt, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Alain Badiou.

This critical genealogy shows that the post-Heideggerian critique of the phenomenological tradition has been limited by its unquestioning investment in the category of the ‘world’. To escape this historical predicament, Végsö encourages us to create affirmative definitions of worldlessness.

• Situates the argument among the work of Markus Gabriel, Levi Bryant and Timothy Morton

• Sets out an innovative agenda for worldlessness to practical philosophy, aesthetics, ethics and political philosophy

Thinking AntagonismPolitical Ontology after LaclauOliver Marchart, University of Vienna

Discover Ernesto Laclau’s theory of antagonism and how it contributes to political and cultural thoughtErnesto Laclau (1935–2014) was one of the major theoretical voices on the Left. His concept of antagonism is the cornerstone of his theory of hegemony and the organising concept in his political ontology. Oliver Marchart tracks the development of antagonism from German Idealism via Marx to Laclau and demonstrates the significant contribution of Laclau’s political ontology to current debates in political philosophy, rhetorics, human geography, cultural studies, communication studies, social movement theory and art theory.

• Shows how Laclau’s concept of antagonism is the cornerstone of his theory of hegemony and the organising concept in his political ontology

• Contributes to the ontological turn in political theory by proposing a never-before developed systematic ontology of the political

• Critically engages with conflict theories, including Foucault’s ‘polemology’

The Edinburgh Companion to Political RealismEdited by Robert Schuett and Miles Hollingworth, both independent scholars

Examines the 2000-year history of political realism: its history, scientific methodology and normative roleSplit into three sections, The Edinburgh Companion to Political Realism covers the 2000-year canon of realism: the schools of thought, the key thinkers and how it responds to foreign policy challenges faced by individual states and globally. It brings political realism up-to-date by showing where theory has failed to keep up with contemporary problems and suggests how it can be applied and adapted to fit our new, globalised world order.

About the authorsRobert Schuett is the author of Political Realism, Freud and Human Nature in International Relations (Palgrave, 2010) and editor of The Concept of the State in International Relations (EUP, 2015).

Miles Hollingworth is author of Ludwig Wittgenstein (OUP, 2018) and Inventing Socrates (Bloomsbury, 2015), and series editor of Reading Augustine (Bloomsbury).

Irigaray and PoliticsA Critical IntroductionLaura Roberts, University of Queensland

Positions Luce Irigaray as one of the most important and radical political thinkers alive todayLaura Roberts argues that Irigaray’s philosophical–political project must be read as a critique of constructions of western modernity and rationality. When appreciated in this way, it becomes clear how Irigaray’s thought makes profound interventions into contemporary political movements and decolonial thought – themes that have never been covered before in Irigaray scholarship.

Laura Roberts helps readers to recognise that the question of sexual difference in Irigaray’s philosophy is concerned not only with refiguring politics and political action, but with the foundational structures that govern existence itself.

The most extensive examination yet of control across disciplines and cultural expressionStarting from Deleuze’s brief but influential work on control, the 11 essays in this book question how contemporary control mechanisms influence, and are influenced by, cultural expression. And they collectively re-evaluate Foucault and Deleuze’s theories of discipline and control in light of the continued development of biopolitics.

Obligation and the Fact of SenseBryan Lueck, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

A substantially new account of obligation, inspired by major thinkers in the Continental tradition

Bryan Lueck offers a substantially new solution to a classic philosophical problem: how is it possible that morality genuinely obligates us, binding us without regard to our perceived or actual well-being? Lueck builds on Kant’s fact of reason – the idea that being a moral subject presupposes that one has accepted obligation as binding – showing that it must be rethought as the fact of sense.

• Stages a fruitful dialogue between the analytic and Continental philosophical traditions

• Reflects specifically on the work of Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Serres and Nancy

• Offers a creative approach to the problem of obligation, bringing vital new perspectives to bear on a long-standing philosophical problem

It offers revisionist readings of philosophers such as Hume, Butler and Mandeville, and of central themes in moral psychology, including self-love. He combines the argumentative rigour of philosophy with the nuance and contextual sensitivity of intellectual history... Outstanding.’ – Colin Heydt, University of South Florida

The Ethics of Political ResistanceAlthusser, Badiou, DeleuzeChris Henry, University of Kent

A new ontology that forms the groundwork for ethical practices of resistance What and how should individuals resist in political situations? Chris Henry brings the work of Badiou, Deleuze and Althusser together in order to offer a new idea of political practice. He develops a structural ontology that gives rise to non-idealist, non-dogmatic, yet ethical practices of resistance against the return of classical ontological dyads.



Evil in the Western Philosophical TraditionGavin Rae, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid• Charts a sweeping history of evil within the Western

philosophical tradition, showing it to be remarkably complex, differentiated and contested

• Shows that evil – as a conceptual problem – came to the fore with the rise of monotheism

• Traces the problem of evil from early and Medieval Christian philosophy to modern philosophy, German Idealism, post-structuralism and contemporary analytic philosophy and secularisation

AESTHETICS & PHILOSOPHY OF ART

FictioningThe Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and PhilosophyDavid Burrows, Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, and Simon O’Sullivan, Goldsmiths, University of London

Maps out the process of fictioning as a new field of study for art and philosophy‘Reading Fictioning: The Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and Philosophy has brought me great joy ... Deleuzian scholars, historians and theorists of the avant-garde, postcolonial and feminist theorists, theorists of the posthuman, artists and occultists will, among others, all find something of value here ... Fictioning requires an active, if not informed, reader, this is because at the heart of it is a call to follow the paths it traces; to perform and to make our own versions of the rituals it brings to our attention; and to discover thresholds where we normally find barriers, as in the case of that most persistent fiction and which remains at the core of the text: the fiction of the self.’ – Lilly Markaki, Royal Holloway, University of London, LSE Review of Books

Pb £29.99 | $44.95 February 2019 576 pages 9781474432405 86 b&w illustrations Also available in Hb & ebook

Fictioning in art is an open-ended, experimental practice that involves performing, diagramming or assembling to create or anticipate new modes of existence. In this extensively illustrated book containing over 80 diagrams and images of artworks, David Burrows and Simon O’Sullivan explore the technics of fictioning through three focal points: mythopoesis, myth-science and mythotechnesis. These relate to three specific modes of fictioning: performance fictioning, science fictioning and machine fictioning.In this way, Burrows and O’Sullivan explore how fictioning can offer us alternatives to the dominant fictions that construct our reality in an age of ‘post-truth’ and ‘perception management’. Through fictioning, they look forward to the new kinds of human, part-human and non-human bodies and societies to come.

• Explores the different ways that art practices deploy myth and fiction reality• Draws on a rich constellation of recent philosophical perspectives – including

those associated with the speculative and ontological turns, non-philosophy, residual and emergent cultures, decolonisation and the posthuman

• Moves through counter-cultures, performance studies, continental philosophy, anthropology, afrofuturisms, feminisms, science fiction, cybernetics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence research, electronic music and other digital practices

• Ultimately argues that fictioning is at its most radical and experimental in the expanded field of contemporary art practice

At the borders of art history and philosophyPoised at the borders of art history and philosophy, and related fields such as art theory, art criticism, philology, cultural anthropology, aesthetics and art historiography, Refractions offers a space to bring together thought on the arts stemming from the continental tradition, debates on contemporary art and the visual, and non-western philosophies and comparative studies of art and image.Deflections of light or waves across media of different densities, refractions are passages that fracture whilst continuing. The series will capture the atmosphere of this phenomena, forging resonances and oblique intersections between diverse zones of thought, while fostering breakaway strands of thinking. We invite proposals for intellectually adventurous work across borders of chronology and geography, which engage the theorisation of art as a persistent provocation for our times.Editorial Advisory BoardAndrew Benjamin, Kingston University • Adi Efal, University of Lille 3 • Vlad Ionescu, University of Hasselt • Sjoerd Van Tuinen, Erasmus University, Rotterdam • Sugata Ray, UC Berkeley • Aron Vinegar, University of Oslo

‘The essays in this timely volume perform a twin function: they attend to object-orientated philosophies, anti-correlationist aesthetics and the non-human; but also to that rich counter-tradition of Art History that has always attended to art’s own speculative and inventive becomings. A must read for anyone interested in both the future and other pasts of Art History, but also for those working within the expanded fields of art theory and Contemporary Art.’ – Simon O’Sullivan, Goldsmiths

Focusing on his account of what makes Hollywood movies so magical, Dan Shaw draws on Cavell’s theories to interpret a range of classic and contemporary dramas, including Mr Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Boys Don’t Cry (1999) and The Hurt Locker (2008). Pairing these analyses with discussions of Cavell’s precursors, including Emerson, Nietzsche and Mill, the book explores a distinctively American philosophical foundation for the study of Hollywood film.

Thomas Reid and the Problem of Secondary QualitiesChristopher A. Shrock, Ohio Valley University

‘Shrock uses Reid’s ideas to defend direct realism against a serious objection – that the things we perceive have secondary qualities, such as colors and tastes, but these cannot be qualities of external things. Clearly and engagingly written, this book is exemplary both as exposition and interpretation of Reid and as philosophical problem solving.’ – James Van Cleve, University of Southern California
