Intermittency
Ths book explores the concept of historical intermittency in the work of five French philosophers. By critiquing the work of Alain Badiou, Françoise Proust, Christian Jambet, Guy Lardreau and Jacques Rancière - and drawing on a wealth of philosophy, literature, history and art - Andrew Gibson develops a new theory of historical time. In different ways, these philosophers all work with a concept of the historical \"event\" as an extraordinary occurrence which shatters established historical formations and promises new historical beginnings.

Gilles Deleuze
This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century's most important and elusive thinkers. Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze's philosophy: how might we live? The author then goes on to explain how Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this approach the full range of Deleuze's philosophy is covered. Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May's introduction will be widely read amongst those in philosophy, political science, cultural studies and French studies.

The Young Derrida and French Philosophy, 1945–1968
In this powerful study Edward Baring sheds fresh light on Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential yet controversial intellectuals of the twentieth century. Reading Derrida from a historical perspective and drawing on new archival sources, The Young Derrida and French Philosophy shows how Derrida's thought arose in the closely contested space of post-war French intellectual life, developing in response to Sartrian existentialism, religious philosophy and the structuralism that found its base at the École Normale Supérieure. In a history of the philosophical movements and academic institutions of post-war France, Baring paints a portrait of a community caught between humanism and anti-humanism, providing a radically new interpretation of the genesis of deconstruction and of one of the most vibrant intellectual moments of modern times.
