Table of ContentsReviewsThe Philosophy of Improvisation is like Lewis Hyde's The Gift; it is a book that academics and general readers will find both stimulating and enjoyable. It is a prodigious rethinking of the philosophical problem of improvisation, which brings together an impressive range of thinkers-Adorno, Deleuze, Derrida, Heidegger and Levinas, among others-but does so with a light touch. It is a terrific book. -Ian Buchanan, Cardiff University This is an unusual book on improvisation: a genuinely philosophical contribution to the literature.... It's impossible to summarize the book's many ingenious arguments in the space of a short review - this is a rich and intriguing discussion. (Wire) This aptly titled work considers not the how-to of improvisation but rather the motivations and meaning behind spontaneous creation.... A work for anyone who teaches or wishes to reflect on the creative process. (Choice) Author InformationGary Peters is chair of critical and cultural theory at York St John University and the author of Irony and Singularity: Aesthetic Education from Kant to Levinas.
