Publisher Synopsis
Rosler's important and humane study inquires where Eros has gone in our modern world. Tracing the ways in which binary logics reduce the individual to a function of dialectic rather than an ecstatic self, Rosler presents a nuanced and rigorous account of 'friendship' from Plato to Deleuze. He enlightens readings of texts as varied as Freud and Heidegger, and gracefully interlaces complex responses to Derrida's 'politics of friendship' with his own lived experiences. The study is both a testimonial to the committed thoughtfulness of its author and a crucial addition to contemporary continental philosophy and gender studies. -- Elizabeth Richmond-Garza, University of Texas Read more...
