Reviews for Bridging Complexity and Post-Structuralism
“This book is also a valuable introduction to contemporary French philosophy. The clear unfolding of the ideas of rather ‘complex’ thinkers will please students, while the challenging argumentation will certainly entice scholars that are looking for new paths in philosophy. Even scientists … might benefit from this study.” (Erik Meganck, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie, Vol. 79, 2017)
