Cisney brings you a scholarly analysis of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze's contrasting concepts of difference. He distinguishes their responses to Hegel and Nietzsche. He finds that Deleuze formulates an affirmative conception of difference, while Derridas differance amounts to an irresolvable negativity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735720108305,"sku":"NGR9781474462617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028226933009,"sku":"NIN9781474462617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52731591688465,"sku":"GOR012162267","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53070538080529,"sku":"GOR014726869","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53073309794577,"sku":"GOR014728308","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1474462618.jpg?v=1768560518"},{"product_id":"derrida-s-voice-and-phenomenon-book-vernon-w-cisney-9780748644209","title":"Derrida's Voice and Phenomenon","description":"'Cisney presents the clearest introduction to this difficult and yet essential Derrida text. His thorough investigation shows us that Voice and Phenomenon is not only one of the most penetrating criticisms of classical phenomenology, but also that it is foundational for Derrida's entire itinerary of thinking. This is a superb work.' Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University The essential toolkit for anyone reading this seminal Derrida text for the first time Published in 1967, Voice and Phenomenon marked a crucial turning point in Derrida's thinking: the culmination of a fifteen-year long engagement with the phenomenological tradition. It also introduced the concepts and themes that would become deconstruction. Voice and Phenomenon is a short book, but it can be an overwhelming text, particularly for inexperienced readers of Derrida's work. This is the first guide to clearly explain the structure of his argument, step by step. Key features: -Introduces you to Derrida's historical context, with special attention to the importance of Husserl's thought -Provides careful, critical commentary of his text from start to finish, explaining the key arguments and problems as you go -Shows how the concepts used in Voice and Phenomenon paved the way for Derrida's future works -Includes a glossary, further reading and descriptions of some of Derrida's ethical and political concepts from his later writings Vernon W. Cisney is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50051942154513,"sku":"GOR013846721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748644202.jpg?v=1768560713"},{"product_id":"biopower-book-vernon-w-cisney-9780226226620","title":"Biopower","description":"Michel Foucault's notion of \"biopower\" has been a highly fertile concept in recent theory, influencing thinkers worldwide across a variety of disciplines and concerns. In The History of Sexuality: An Introduction, Foucault famously employed the term to describe \"a power bent on generating forces, making them grow, and ordering them, rather than one dedicated to impeding them, making them submit, or destroying them.\" With this volume, Vernon W. Cisney and Nicolae Morar bring together leading contemporary scholars to explore the many theoretical possibilities that the concept of biopower has enabled while at the same time pinpointing their most important shared resonances. Situating biopower as a radical alternative to traditional conceptions of power-what Foucault called \"sovereign power\"-the contributors examine a host of matters centered on life, the body, and the subject as a living citizen. Altogether, they pay testament to the lasting relevance of biopower in some of our most important contemporary debates on issues ranging from health care rights to immigration laws, HIV prevention discourse, genomics medicine, and many other topics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50531257221393,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50531257581841,"sku":"GOR013987436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52720190554385,"sku":"NGR9780226226620","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022622662X.jpg?v=1750693986"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-vernon-w-cisney.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
