"Of Joints and Other Articulations is highly original, brilliantly erudite, and extremely well written. Few thinkers can boast such a command of traditions and texts, ancient and modern, Western and Eastern. Marder rigorously controls the metaphorics of joints and articulation to yield a trenchant critique of nihilism in contemporary thought and politics. I know of no competing work." - Mary C.
