"Readers will be astonished by the richness of Dearth. Philippe Lynes's two volumes, inspired by Derrida's and Blanchot's responses to Heidegger's thought, analyze a number of contemporary "realisms" and "materialisms" in an effort to think anew the thing, every thing, in a time when nothing rules. A remarkable book, Dearth deserves the closest of close-readings." —David Farrell Krell, DePaul University "Following on from the magisterial first volume, Dearth Volume 2 provides a compendious and incisive account of the current state of play of philosophy in order to articulate a poetics and theory worthy of the twenty-first century. This book is both exegesis and provocation, at once rigorous and original." —Claire Colebrook, Monash University
