“Today, more than ever, it is necessary to step back from easy or pious uses of the word ethical. It has also been necessary, for some time now, to move beyond dismissals and deifications of Derrida. Nicole Anderson, one of the world’s most formidable Derrida scholars of the post-Derrida generation, achieves both these tasks. Derrida: Ethics Under Erasure provides a nuanced reading of Derrida, while accepting the difficulty of any simple affirmation of the deconstructive tradition.” Claire Colebrook, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, Penn State University, USA

“Lewis crosses out Heidegger's fundamental dichotomy between “being” and “beings”, and so makes a highly original contribution to the vast and often staid discussions surrounding this thinker.” Catherine Humble, Times Literary Supplement Heidegger and the Place of Ethics is a ground-breaking contribution to the study of both Heidegger and ethics in the Continental philosophical tradition.
Deconstruction without Derrida
new in PB
Martin McQuillan, Professor of Literary Theory and Cultural Analysis, Kingston University, UK The future of deconstruction lies in the ability of its practitioners to mobilise the tropes and interests of Derrida's texts into new spaces and creative readings. In Deconstruction without Derrida, McQuillan does just that, to continue the task of deconstructive reading both with and without Derrida. The readings presented in this book address the expanded field of deconstruction in the work of Jean-Luc Nancy, Helene Cixous, Paul de Man, Harold Bloom, J. Hillis Miller, Judith Butler, Gayatri Spivak and Catherine Malabou.

Christopher Norris, Distinguished Research Professor in Philosophy, University of Cardiff, Wales “Norris crosses the 'dividing line' between the analytic and the continental tradition in philosophy with ingenuity, insightfulness and flair... In Derrida, Badiou and the Formal Imperative, Norris offers a comparative study of the work of Jacques Derrida and Alain Badiou, two very influential thinkers inside and outside the academia, and articulates the rich idea of a 'formal imperative' permeating their thought... Norris offers a novel and lively narrative which re-examines and re-positions the philosophical oeuvre of the two French philosophers.” Stathis Psillos, University of Athens, Greece UK February 2014 • US April 2014 208 Pages • 234 x 156mm • 9.2 x 6.1 inches PB 9781472525925 £21.99 • $37.95 Library eBook 9781441139924 £66.00 • $106.00 Previously published in HB 9781441128324 Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy Bloomsbury Academic

Deleuze and the Diagram
new in PB
Aesthetic Threads in Visual Organization Jakub Zdebik, Lecturer, University of Ottawa, Canada “Zdebik offers a clear, compelling, indeed dazzling reading of a body of work integral to what John Bender and Michael Marrinan have astutely called the culture of diagram. Thanks to this book we can now see how and why Deleuze excels in areas that extend from philosophy to cinema, from geology to biology, from literature to topology, and from painting to poetry. The author brings us a rich, sensuous, and decisive contribution that stands high and strong in the industry of Deleuze studies.” Tom Conley, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies and of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University, USA UK January 2014 • US March 2014 256 Pages • 234 x 156mm • 9.2 x 6.1 inches PB 9781472526199 £21.99 • $37.95 Individual eBook 9781441157799 £21.99 • $33.99 Previously published in HB 9781441115607 Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy Bloomsbury Academic
