Review Quotes:
"Distributions of the Sensible promises to be the best collection of essays on the topic. Few works until now have engaged the simultaneity of aesthetics and politics crucial to Rancière." --Davide Panagia, author of Rancière's Sentiment
"What is the relationship between politics and aesthetics? This question serves as the starting point for Rancière's work. By his account, the issue of equality is at the heart of this question . . . This edited volume will prove useful to anyone who teaches or studies aesthetics, the philosophy of art, and/or sociopolitical philosophy (especially theories of equality and democracy)." --J. Liz, San Jose State University, CHOICE
