PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Roy Brand is a professor of philosophy at the Graduate School of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, and the director and chief curator of Yaffo 23, center for contemporary art and culture. He is the editor and translator of Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Habermas and Derrida and editor and consultant curator of Bare Life: Contemporary Art Reflecting on the State of Emergency.
Brand steps away from the technicalities that populate the history of philosophy as an academic discipline, just as he shows himself a truly sanguine observer who stays above the fray of the different and diverging currents and debates of our days. What results is an at once greatly informative and deeply personal book, whose chapters serve as vignettes and epitomize the best of philosophical thinking about a question that matters to most. -- Hent de Vries, John Hopkins University Brand takes the reader on a journey through the history of philosophy, examining works by Plato, Spinoza, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Foucault, and Derrida. Brand does a wonderful job of showing how the relation between love/knowledge weaves its way through these various authors. -- Steven Levine, University of Massachusetts
