Reviews / Votes
... tackles topics and problems which are not at all over and done with in the human sciences, namely the relation between philosphy (theory) and (the human) science(s), a theory of historical, non-linear temporality and a theory of the 'decentred' subject... the theses and thoughts unfolded... testify to an exceedingly fertile appropriation of Freud, the long-term effect of which has yet to be assessed. European Journal of Social Theory Splendidly brought together and presented... a fascinating group of historical documents... Revealing. Boston Book ReviewMore details
