    Butler on Whitehead: On the Occasion (edited book)
    with Jeffrey A. Bell, Vikki Bell, Judith Butler, Daniel A. Dombrowski, Jeremy D. Fackenthal, Kirsten M. Gerdes, Sigridur Guðmarsdóttir, Catherine Keller, Matthew S. LoPresti, Astrid Lorange, and Randy Ramal
    Lexington Books. 2012.
    Considered together, Butler and Whitehead draw from a wide palette of disciplines to develop distinctive theories of becoming, of syntactical violence, and creative opportunities of limitation. The contributors of this volume offer a unique contribution to and for the humanities in the struggles of politics, economy, ecology, and the arts.

    Creativity and Its Discontents: The Response to Whitehead's Process and Reality (edited book)
    with Michel Weber
    De Gruyter. 2009.
    "I do not expect a good reception from professional philosophers" wrote Whitehead in 1929, immediately after the publication of Process and Reality. Indeed, it took nearly thirty years before scholars seriously started to try to decipher the book taken as a whole. And there remains today "professional" Whiteheadians who claim that this work can - or even should - be bracketed by anyone wishing to get a clear picture of Whitehead's true speculative agenda.

    "I do not expect a good reception from professional philosophers" wrote Whitehead in 1929, immediately after the publication of Process and Reality. Indeed, it took nearly thirty years before scholars seriously started to try to decipher the book taken as a whole. And there remains today "professional" Whiteheadians who claim that this work can - or even should - be bracketed by anyone wishing to get a clear picture of Whitehead's true speculative agenda. Creativity and Its Discontents aims to provide evidence of the conditions for this state of affairs by gathering and contextualizing all the major reviews (translated where need be) of Process and Reality: its original 1929 edition, its various translations (some of them still ongoing) and its 1978 corrected edition. It is designed as the ideal tool to accompany the recently published Handbook of Whiteheadian Process Thought.

    Proposing Life: Review of The Lure of Whitehead
    Cosmos and History 13 (1): 552-560. 2017.
    Although it is often hard to imagine, after years of neglect the philosophical concepts proposed by Alfred North Whitehead are again interesting. As the essays gathered together in The Lure of Whitehead indicate, this interest is not simply, or not only philosophical. Whitehead's ideas and propositions are becoming catalysts for a future that is not yet known, in fields and ways that do not always remain strictly philosophical.
