Containing two previously untranslated essays by Malabou, Thinking Catherine Malabou deepens our understanding of this important, contemporary French philosopher. This is an invaluable collection of essays. The scholars assembled here clearly understand Malabou’s work and its impact on philosophy today. By showing us how Malabou’s thought detaches itself from philosophy, Thinking Catherine Malabou points the way in which philosophy must be reconfigured in the future. -- Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University Ever since Catherine Malabou dropped the bombshell of her first book on The Future of Hegel in the midst of the dominant anti-Hegelian consensus, she has continued to rise to the very top of the list of today's most creative and daring French philosophers. The present collection offers a complex and varied account of Malabou's passionate attachments to and detachments from deconstruction, psychoanalysis, phenomenology, materialism, and dialectics. Giving voice to a new generation of scholars and students of Malabou's work as well as her long-time translator, the volume also includes a fascinating original essay from the author about Heidegger and Lévi-Strauss. This collection is bound to become a standard reference work. -- Bruno Bosteels, Professor of Latin American and Iberian Cultures, Columbia University This volume offers a uniquely comprehensive engagement with Malabou’s philosophy and the multiple relations it opens up through its “passionate detachments”. Posing the question of the status of philosophy today and its relation to other disciplines such as science and politics, the essays collected here represent an indispensable contribution to the reception of this most exciting and important contemporary thinker. -- Ian James, Reader in Modern French Literature and Thought, University of Cambridge
