Letter from the team

This 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!

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.

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

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.

Brings recent insights in cognitive science to bear on the distributed nature of cognition, spanning from antiquity to the mid-20th century Cognitive 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.

Philosophy 31 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY Lucretius I An Ontology of Motion Thomas 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 Title of modern science as Greenblatt and others have argued; he was Subtitle its greatest victim. Nail re-reads De Rerum Natura to offer us a Byline 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

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

His concept of antagonism is the cornerstone of his theory of hegemony and the organising concept in his political ontology.

Available in the series Irigaray and Politics A Critical Introduction Laura Roberts, University of Queensland Positions Luce Irigaray as one of the most important and radical political thinkers alive today Laura 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.

Series Editors: Bryan Lueck, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Lucian Stone, University of North Dakota

edinburghuniversitypress.com/series/epcce

Thinks about moral phenomena in new ways and raises challenging questions that have never been considered before This series takes a Continental approach to both theoretical and applied approaches to normative ethics. It also treats the important social, political and aesthetic questions that intersect with ethical considerations. Editorial Advisory Board Andrew Benjamin • Alphonso Lingis • Ladelle McWhorter • Eduardo Mendieta • Ann V. Murphy • Kelly Oliver • Danielle Petherbridge • Anthony Steinbock

Available in the series Obligation and the Fact of Sense Bryan 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

52 edinburghuniversitypress.com AESTHETICS & PHILOSOPHY OF ART Fictioning The Myth-Functions of Contemporary Art and Philosophy David 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

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

Philosophy 53 NEW Refractions SERIES Series Editor: Kamini Vellodi, University of Edinburgh

edinburghuniversitypress.com/series/refr

At the borders of art history and philosophy Poised 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.
