A career-spanning collection of published and unpublished writings
Catherine Malabou is one of the foremost, most innovative
intelligences working in contemporary French philosophy today. Her
work articulates a coherent conceptualisation of 'plasticity' by
merging recent neurobiology and medicinal sciences with the history
of philosophy and political theory.Across the essays gathered in
Plasticity: The Promise of Explosion, Malabou carves a
philosophical space between structuralism, deconstruction,
cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis and speculative realism. By
demonstrating the plastic transformability at the heart of these
disciplines, a change that always promises future explosion,
Malabou, as a female philosopher, also articulates the need to
'change difference' within patriarchal concepts of tradition
itself.The collection is divided into four thematic parts, each of
which showcases a major aspect of Malabou's conceptualisation of
plasticity. In his introduction, Ian James situates Malabou's work
within contemporary philosophy and navigates the contours of her
unique work.
