Description
Catherine Malabou's Plasticity: The Promise of Explosion is a groundbreaking collection of philosophical writings that redefine our understanding of 'plasticity' and its far-reaching implications. By merging recent neurobiology, medicinal sciences, and the history of philosophy and political theory, Malabou crafts a unique conceptualisation of plasticity that challenges traditional notions of structuralism, deconstruction, cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis, and speculative realism. Through this collection, Malabou explores the transformative power of 'plasticity' at the heart of these disciplines, revealing its potential for future explosion. As a pioneering female philosopher, she also highlights the need to challenge patriarchal concepts of tradition and 'change difference'. The book is divided into four thematic parts, each showcasing a major aspect of Malabou's work. This collection offers a fascinating insight into contemporary French philosophy and its relevance to our understanding of human experience.
