Nor is scientific competition the same as competition between universities. Scientific competition is, first of all, competition between individual scientists.

Last Day Every Day: Figural Thinking From Auerbach and Kracauer To Agamben an…
Where is film analysis at today? What is cinema theory up to, behind our backs? The field, as professionally defined (at least in the Anglo-American academic world), is presently divided between contextual historians who turn to broad formations of modernity, and stylistic connoisseurs who call for a return to old-fashioned things like authorial vision, tone, and mise en scène. But there are o…

Knowledge, Spirit, Law, Book 2: The Anti-Capitalist Sublime
Knowledge, Spirit, Law // Book 2: The Anti-capitalist Sublime takes up where Knowledge, Spirit, Law // Book 1: Radical Scholarship (2015) left off, foremost in terms of a critique of neo-liberal academia and its demotion of the book in favor of various mediatic practices that substitute, arguably, for the one form of critical inquiry that might safeguard speculative intellectual inquiry as long…

Virtues for the People: Aspects of Plutarchan Ethics
Plutarch of Chaeronea was by no means an armchair philosopher. He believed in the necessity for a philosopher to affect the lives of his fellow citizens. That urge inspired many of his writings to meet what he considered people's true needs. Although these writings on practical ethics illustrate in various ways Plutarch's authorial talents and raise many challenging questions (regarding their o…

By examining pedagogical texts, rituals, performances, and images, this book illuminates the evolution o…
