With a critical eye, Gabriel Rockhill guides you through complex debates in history, politics and aesthetics, giving you an overview of key issues and central figures, including Foucault, Derrida, Castoriadis, Badiou and Ranciere. Rockhill also questions the stereotypes of prominent figures and Intellectual movements. Instead of hiding behind these towering intellectuals, Rockhill stakes out positions in relationship to them and formulates precise arguments in favour of a new understanding of the historical relationship between art and politics.

Remaps the topography of contemporary philosophy, drawing on extensive knowledge of untranslated material and marginalised figures. Critically reconsiders the philosophy of difference through the work of thinkers such as Badiou, Bourdieu, Castoriadis, Fabiani, Laruelle, Pinto and Ranciere. Develops alternative historical models, beyond the paradigms found in Marcuse, Sartre, Barthes and Randere, to rethink the relationship between art and politics.
