Sommario/riassunto

An extended critique of academic life today and the context of our own thinking, Social Thought From the Ruins: Quixote's Dinner Party interrogates aspects of our modernity, with its pervasive sense of crisis and uncertainty, and the difficulty of thinking clearly about things like the state and power, data and violence.
