Books received – Eilenberger, Durkheim, Lorenzini, Pietz, Culcasi, Guyau

Wolfram Eilenberger, Time of the Magicians: Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Cassirer, Heidegger and the Great Decade of Philosophy; a somewhat battered copy of Émile Durkheim, Lettres à Marcel Mauss; and four books I’ve mentioned here before – Daniele Lorenzini, The Force of Truth: Critique, Genealogy, and Truth-Telling in Michel Foucault; William Pietz, The Problem of the Fetish, edited by Francesco Pellizzi, Stefanos Geroulanos, and Ben Kafka; and Karen Culcasi, Displacing Territory: Syrian and Palestinian Refugees in Jordan; and Jean-Marie Guyau, The Ethics of Epicurus and its Relation to Contemporary Doctrines, translated by Federico Testa, and edited by Federico Testa and Keith Ansell-Pearson.

Stef and Federico gave me copies of the books they worked on; I endorsed Karen Culcasi’s book; and University of Chicago Press sent a copy of Daniele’s book on his behalf.

    “In the pantheon of post-68 French thinkers, there is one in particular who took the disconnected and incomprehensible nature of these events to heart and fashioned a unique and mind-bending theory of politics. ”
