Jacques Ranciere by Oliver Davis

Jacques Ranciere by Oliver Davis

* Ranciere is one of the most interesting and original philosophers in France today, well-known for his work on aesthetics, politics and the philosophy of literature.

"An absolute model of explanatory clarity, with a level of critical distance made all the more impressive by this being the first monograph on Ranciere in any language"
French Studies

"A solid introduction to Ranciere's thought that should help facilitate the reception of his work in the English-speaking world."
Choice

"Well written and accessible ... the chapters are clear and capture the full extent of Rancière's thinking, yet they remain remarkably critical."
Ethical Perspectives

"Davis has thought through how best to introduce Rancière's philosophy and he does it convincingly and compellingly. His book will deservedly become the standard introduction and companion to Rancière for first time readers at every level."
Jay Bernstein, New School for Social Research

"Oliver Davis's Jacques Rancière is an overview of force and beauty. Working through the whole of Rancière's reflections on philosophy, politics, historiography and aesthetics, Davis offers a clear and coherent account of work that has changed the way we think about the emergence, the condition and the future of democracy."
Tom Conley, Harvard University
