Review Quotes: "[This book] provides a fascinating account of the vertiginous diversity of contemporary Italian thought which is yet united by a spirit of critical reflection on social relations ... The distinct merit of the book consists in a synthesis of accessibility with a creative interpretation of authors and texts, so this work would still be interesting for readers already well-acquainted with contemporary philosophy in Italy." --Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
