It provides an unusual reading of Nietzsche's ideas (particularly of the central concept of \"will to power\") and an incisive method for investigating his style. Developing work on Nietzsche undertaken by Derrida and the post-structuralists, Kofman shows how Nietzsche's style influences his ideas and how these ideas are to be understood. Since its first publication in France in 1972, this work has been a major influence on readings of Nietzsche and this English-language translation should be widely welcomed. Sarah Kofman's translated works include \"The Enigma of Women: Women in Freud's Writings\" (1985), \"The Childhood of Art\" (1988) and \"Freud and Fiction\" (1991).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50029916291345,"sku":"GOR006809086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52118758981905,"sku":"GOR006783660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52599885889809,"sku":"NLS9780485120981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0485120984.jpg?v=1751987060"},{"product_id":"childhood-of-art-book-sarah-kofman-9780231063128","title":"The Childhood of Art","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50346934010129,"sku":"GOR005973163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50790422151441,"sku":"CIN0231063121G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51828473626897,"sku":"NGR9780231063128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231063121.jpg?v=1750908514"},{"product_id":"nietzsche-and-metaphor-book-sarah-kofman-9780804721868","title":"Nietzsche and Metaphor","description":"This long-overdue translation brings to the English-speaking world the work that set the tone for the post-structuralist reading of Nietzsche. The issue of style, of why Nietzsche wrote as he did, is fundamental, on any level, to reading his texts. Some Nietzsche critics (in particular, those, such as Jean Granier, indebted to Heidegger's reading), in effect translated Nietzsche's terms back into those of a philosophy of ontology. This book (which includes an appendix specifically directed against the \"Heideggerian\" reading) shows how such an approach fails to interrogate the precise terms, such as \"Nature\" or \"life\", that Nietzsche used in place of \"being,\" and to ask the meaning of this substitution. The author gives not only a reading of Nietzsche's ideas, but a method for investigating his style. She shows in great detail how it influences both Nietzsche's ideas and the way in which they are to be understood. In so doing, she exemplifies how post-structuralist methods can be used to open up classical philosophical texts to new readings. She write conceptually in the knowledge that the concept has no greater value than metaphor and is itself a condensation of metaphors, rather than writing metaphorically as a way of denigrating the concept and proposing metaphor as the norm, and thus acknowledges the specificity of philosophy, its irreducibility to any other form of expression-even when this philosophy has nothing traditional about it any longer, even when it is, like Nietzsche's an unheard-of and insolent philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366569120017,"sku":"CIN0804721866A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007657083153,"sku":"NIN9780804721868","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52394177495313,"sku":"CIN0804721866VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804721866.jpg?v=1751394877"},{"product_id":"rue-ordener-rue-labat-book-sarah-kofman-9782718606835","title":"Rue Ordener Rue Labat","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50450576015633,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50450576408849,"sku":"GOR006312699","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52703441813777,"sku":"GOR006781048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53192612086033,"sku":"CIN2718606835G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2718606835.jpg?v=1751415086"},{"product_id":"selected-writings-book-sarah-kofman-9780804732970","title":"Selected Writings","description":"Sarah Kofman (1934-1994), Professor of Philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris and the author of over twenty books, was one of the most significant postwar thinkers in France. Kofman's scholarship was wide-ranging and included work on Freud and psychoanalysis, Nietzsche, feminism and the role of women in Western philosophy, visual art, and literature. The child of Polish Jewish immigrants who lost her father in the Holocaust, she also was interested in Judaism and anti-Semitism, especially as reflected in works of literature and philosophy. This book is an anthology of some of Kofman's most significant writings on these and other topics. Its purpose is to provide a general introduction to Kofman's thought, which has been highly influential in both Europe and America.

It also shows the ways in which Kofman's thinking shaped Derrida's work, especially around the topic of sexual difference. This volume will help English readers to reconsider the relation of deconstruction to current political theory as well as to research into the post human, biopolitics, globalised political theory, and the on going transformation and displacement of philosophy by the methods of cultural studies. Readings of Derrida will help redress a gap in Derrida scholarship, as well as highlight Kofman's contribution to 20th century French feminism. English complete translation of an incisive work on Derrida by a significant French feminist critic; situates Derrida's ideas in original relation to Freud, Plato, sexual difference and political philosophy; covers all the major works for which Derrida is best known and the introduction sets Kofman's work in today's theoretical context.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201368981777,"sku":"NGR9780748675401","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/074867540X.jpg?v=1751232026"},{"product_id":"socrate-s-book-sarah-kofman-9780485114607","title":"Socrate(s)","description":"This volume charts the pluralization and conflict of interpretation that has attended the analysis of Socrates through the centuries.

In her analysis, Kofman is concerned to reassess these texts in the light of Freud's reading of them and to highlight what he misses out. She argues that Freud's claim to give faithful summaries of these works conceals his own editing and distortion of the texts. By interweaving her own commentary with Freud's and with the original texts, Kofman draws attention to the creation of myth and literature, to Freud's use of the literary text as proof of the analyst's theory, and to the process of literary interpretation as a revelation of the interpreter.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51488265371921,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51488265404689,"sku":"GOR010083371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/074560627X.jpg?v=1751393640"},{"product_id":"camera-obscura-book-sarah-kofman-9780801485930","title":"Camera Obscura","description":"Marx, Freud, Nietzsche—in vastly different ways all three employed the metaphor of the camera obscura in their work. In this classic book—at last available in an English translation—the distinguished French philosopher Sarah Kofman offers an extended reflection on this metaphor. She contrasts the mechanical function of the camera obscura as a kind of copy machine, rendering a mirror-image of the work, with its use in the writings of master thinkers. In her opening chapter on Marx, Kofman provides a reading of inversion as necessary to the ideological process. She then explores the metaphor of the camera obscura in Freud's description of the unconscious. For Nietzsche the camera obscura is a \"metaphor for forgetting.\" Kofman asks here whether the \"magical apparatus\" of the camera obscura, rather than bringing about clarity, serves some thinkers as fetish. Camera Obscura is a powerful discussion of a metaphor that dominates contemporary theory from philosophy to film.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52309627011345,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52309627666705,"sku":"CIN0801485932G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780801485930.jpg?v=1757946018"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sarah-kofman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
