Nathan Widder is Senior Lecturer in Political Theory in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Royal Holloway, University of London.
“Nathan Widder’s book will be invaluable to those who see that
classic theories of time insufficiently speak to the terms of
contemporary politics. The style and organization of the book
express the philosophy embraced. The engagements with Aristotle,
Bergson, and Deleuze are compelling. And the intercalated
explorations of sense, common sense, discontinuity, micropolitics,
and ‘syntheses’ of time are superb.”—William E. Connolly,The Johns
Hopkins University
“Reflections on Time and Politics is a highly innovative book in
both its style and content. Each of its eighteen ‘sequences of
thought’ focuses on an aspect of Gilles Deleuze’s theory of time
and explores its implications for political philosophy. The text is
extraordinarily wide-ranging and will draw its readers into an
exhilarating and provocative ride through the philosophy of time
found in thinkers as diverse as Aristotle, Hegel, and Bergson. This
book will establish Widder as one of the most creative and
stimulating of contemporary political theorists.”—Daniel W.
Smith,Purdue University
“This is a thoughtful, if idealistic, analysis that appropriately
addresses a major problem of our age.”—J. M. Boyle Choice
