About the Book

This volume is based on the first set of formal conversations which brings together the dynamic philosophies of two eminent thinkers: Judith Butler and Alfred North Whitehead. Each has drawn from a wide palette of disciplines to develop distinctive theories of becoming, of syntactical violence, and creative opportunities of limitation. In bringing together internationally renowned interpreters of Butler and Whitehead from a variety of fields and disciplines—philosophy, rhetoric, gender and queer studies, religion, literary and political theory—the editors hope to set a standard for the relevance of interdisciplinary philosophical discourse today. This volume offers a unique contribution to and for the humanities in the struggles of politics, economy, ecology, and the arts, by reaching beyond their closed circles toward understandings that may serve as the basis for the activation of humanity today. Considered together, Butler and Whitehead delineate a whole new cadre of approaches to long-standing problems as well as never-before asked questions in the humanities.

Review :
Samuel Johnson criticized Metaphysical poetry for its 'violent juxtapositions.' He was right in the characterization, wrong in the judgment. Is Butler a Whiteheadian? No. Is Whitehead proto-Butlerian? No. Is it ever appropriate to speak of them together? Hell yes! The present volume, a 21st-century Metaphysical poem, sets the parameters for this timely conversation and brilliantly starts the ball rolling!
