Politics in a Tragic Key
by Alberto Toscano / RP 180 (July/Aug 2013) / Article
In memory of Joel Olson (1967-2012)
In the quarter-century or so since the obscure disaster of the Soviet bloc’s collapse, two words have been pinned to that of ‘communism’ with liberal abandon: ‘tragedy’ and ‘transition’.

by Stella Sandford / RP 165 (Jan/Feb 2011) / Article, Dossier, From structure to rhizome: transdisciplinarity in French thought

Indeed, with regard to sex, the more interesting task today is to pose and to attempt to answer the question from within …

What is – or what is not – contemporary French philosophy, today?
