商品簡介
"In this bold and original book, Benjamin Noys rethinks the role of the negative in both ontology and political practice. His critical revaluations of familiar figures from recent European thought move in surprising new directions. They have forced me to reconsider much that I thought I knew."--Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University.
This compelling critique of contemporary continental theory contests the tendency to rely on affirmation, especially affirmative thinking of resistance, through incisive readings of leading theoretical figures of affirmationism: Derrida, Deleuze, Latour, Negri and Badiou. Benjamin Noys uncovers a profound current of negativity that allows theory to return to its political calling. His work is essential for anyone concerned with continental theory and its relation to the political left.
