"[Widder] seeks to show that the rejection of metaphysical foundations lead neither to a postmodern ironism or skepticism nor to a negative theology... A pertinent and instructive contribution to contemporary thinking in the area of philosophy and political theory." Keith Ansell-Pearson, author of Germinal Life: The Difference and Repetition of Deleuze "Have you heard that the philosophy of difference is a modern or, even, postmodern event? Nathan Widder puts that story to bed. This is genealogy in the most productive sense of the word: a disaggregation of nostalgic narratives that render the modern world fragmented and lost in order to spur the return to a time that never was." William E. Connolly, author of Neuropolitics: Thinking, Culture, Speed
