"The book is an incisive critique of the role of the intellectual
within the areas of violence and hunger, love and death. I am sure
it will inspire many to go further into the writings of these two
very radical philosophers whose intellectual polemics offer a
compelling conversation on contemporary visions of resistance to
arbitrary state power and violence through a revitalised view of
philosophy's place in the world today."

"How can philosophy be restored to its true vocation as a form
of ethical and political intervention? In this lively, accessible
debate two of Europe's most challenging thinkers present their
answers to this question - and discover how much agreement as well
as discord there is between them."
Peter Dews, University of Essex
