Reviews

"A figure like Plato or Hegel walks here among us!"
Slavoj Žižek "Scarcely any other moral philosopher of our day is as politically clear-sighted and courageously polemical, so prepared to put notions of truth and universality back on the agenda."
Terry Eagleton "One of the most important philosophers writing today."
Joan Copjec "An heir to Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser."
New Statesman
