Lawlor’s reading of Derrida, Foucault, and Deleuze is brilliant. But his master stoke is to appropriate them for his own aim: to embrace the 'fundamental violence' of experience – its undecidability – and thereby for us and him to enter the 'least violence' of an uncertain friendship with one another. His voice must be added to those of the other three.

- Fred Evans, Duquesne University,

Tracing a novel path through the work of Derrida, Deleuze and Foucault, Leonard Lawlor expounds a remarkable ethics of the least violence. This book is a masterclass in radical phenomenological thinking that demonstrates the possibility of new ways of thinking, acting and being.

- Paul Patton, University of New South Wales,

Drawing on a career-long exploration of 1960s French philosophy, Leonard Lawlor seeks a solution to 'the problem of the worst violence'. The worst violence is the reaction of total apocalypse without remainder; it is the reaction of complete negation and death; it is nihilism. Lawlor argues that it is not just transcendental violence that must be minimised: all violence must itself be reduced to its lowest level. He offers new ways of speaking to best achieve the least violence, which he creatively appropriates from Foucault, Derrida and Deleuze and Guattari as ‘speaking-freely’, ‘speaking-distantly’ and ‘speaking-in-tongues’.
