Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Catherine Malabou's elaboration of the concept of plasticity has made her one of the most innovative philosophers working today. Formations collects eighteen of Malabou's early writings, spanning 1986 to 2003, within which her initial articulations of plasticity take shape. Though Malabou might be most famous for bringing neurobiological discourse into conversation with continental philosophy, she has always maintained, as the essays in Formation make clear, that 'plasticity' circulates dynamically within the history of philosophy.
