    Poetics, Self-Understanding and Health (13th ed.)
    with Valery Vino and Richard Deming
    Rupkatha Journal On Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities 13 (2): 1-13. 2021.
    In the thick of the global plague, Richard, Justin and Valery agreed to hold a conversation on the topic of poetics, self-understanding, and health. An analysis and discussion of this trinity requires love of poetry and philosophy. Both supreme human practices take common root in mythology and religion, and also share a notorious categorical divide, that of reason against affect. Is this Platonic divide indeed categorical, given both practices rely on language and creativity to compose their mea…Read more

    The Heideggerian rupture in the history of philosophy in the name of a phenomenological and poetic ontology has provided an opening which many of the key figures in twentieth century continental thought have exploited. However, this opening was marked by Heidegger himself as an ambiguous one, insofar as metaphysics was perhaps integrally ‘onto-theology,’ that is, ultimately continuous with the world-historical capture of the thought of being. This piece argues that the philosophy of Alain Badiou…Read more

    The Work of Giorgio Agamben: Law, Literature, Life (edited book)
    with Nicholas Heron and Alex Murray
    Edinburgh University Press. 2008.
    More than any other thinker, Giorgio Agamben shows us that philosophy is also a matter of style and politics a matter of poetics. This book explores the unexpected and illuminating paths that his work traces across the territories of law and literature, linguistics, dance or cinema, in search of a new idea and practice of the community. It offers an irreplaceable introduction to one of the most fascinating thinkers of our time.'Jacques RanciereGathering some of the most important established and…Read more

    Psychoanalysis is an Antiphilosophy
    Edinburgh University Press. 2013.
    Love, hate, slavery, torture, addiction and death - as this book shows, only psychoanalysis can speak well of such matters. Psychoanalysis was the most important intellectual development of the 20th century, which left no practice from psychiatry to philosophy to politics untouched. Yet it was also in many ways an untouchable project, caught between science and poetry, medicine and hermeneutics. This unsettled, unsettling status has recently induced the philosopher Alain Badiou to characterise p…Read more

    Lacan Deleuze Badiou
    Edinburgh University Press. 2014.
    The theoretical writings of Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze and Alain Badiou stand at the heart of contemporary European thought. While the combined corpus of these three figures contains a significant number of references to each otherOCOs work, such references are often simply critical, obscure - or both. Lacan Deleuze Badiou guides us through the crucial, under-remarked interrelations between these three thinkers, identifying the conceptual passages, connections and disjunctions that underlie t…Read more

    Contraversy in the Nursery; or, A Brace of Basterds
    Journal of Continental Philosophy 1 (2): 232-243. 2020.
    The controversies unleashed by psychoanalysis never seem to stop repeating themselves. If what psychoanalysis has to say is true, then, by its own lights, it has to be controversial. Controversies are thus a privileged place to see this truth and this resistance in violent and lurid action. Take infant experience and bastardry. Every kid is a bit of a bastard, and the establishment of this infantile bastardry conditions subsequent repetitions of the organism: that breast is persecuting me, these…Read more

    Zlog kot skladnja: Mallarméjev Met kock
    Filozofski Vestnik 37 (2). 2016.
    Met kock je mojstrovina moderne literature in nekakšen povzetek življenjskega dela Stéphana Mallarméja. Delo ne bi moralo bolje služiti pisateljem in mislecem: na eni strani je v trenutku spremenilo področje takrat delujočih pesnikov – še tako različnih, kot sta Paul Valéry in Christopher Brennan, kot tudi njunih številnih naslednikov; na drugi strani pa je močna struja evropske filozofije – kot so Maurice Blanchot, J.-P. Sartre, Paul de Man, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Rancière, Al…Read more

Whereas Being and Event primarily restricted itself to the relationship between ontology and the event, mathematics and poetry, the new book seriously extends and revises certain of its predecessor#39;s propositions in order to construct a logic of different #39;worlds.#39; This article outlines some of the major doctrines, arguments, and motivations for the new work, as well as sev…Read more
