Recenzje

Praise for the first edition:

'If you don't know your Deleuze from your Derrida, or your Bataille from your Bourdieu, or your Lacan from your Lyotard - or indeed if you're still catching up on Benjamin, Mauss, Adorno, and Saussure - then this is the book for you.' - Richard Gott, The Guardian

Praise for the new edition:

'RAE mania has produced bucket loads of potboilers most of which aren't any good. This book ought to be a market leader.' - R.W. Dyson, University of Durham, UK

'[T]he author's scholarship is impressive, and the dictionary fills a needed research void.' -- J.A. Martinez-Gandara, San Diego State University, Choice
