Reviews

This is a groundbreaking study of remarkable lucidity and depth that offers an insightful comparison of two of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. In fact it is much more than a comparison. One who reads this book is rewarded with an extraordinarily insightful, independent account of both Heidegger and Deleuze and this is what makes the comparisons so cogent and effective. Sholtz also effectively shows the indissoluble connection between aesthetics and politics in both of these authors and argues persuasively that the future of politics will follow the path Heidegger and Deleuze have opened. -- Walter Brogan, Villanova University
