This book gathers a selection of essays and unpublished writings by Catherine Malabou, one of the foremost, most innovative intelligences working in contemporary French philosophy today. Her work redraws the field of philosophy by merging recent neurobiology and medicinal sciences with the history of philosophy and political theory. Her project emerges as a coherent conceptual problem. Ian James begins by situating Malabou's work within contemporary philosophy and guides you through the contours of her unique work. The book is then divided into four thematic parts, each of which showcases a major contour of Malabou's conceptualization of plasticity. The book reveals that Malabou occupies a singular and unique philosophical space between structuralism deconstruction, cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis and speculative realism - where the promise of explosion occurs.
