Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False - Hardcover

Feeling Like It: A Theory of Inclination and Will - Hardcover

$179.55

Life Drawing: A Deleuzean Aesthetics of Existence - Paperback

In the lineage of Nietzsche, Life Drawing develops a fully affirmative Deleuzean aesthetics of existence.

In contrast, Bearn argues that art is too narrow a concept to guide this kind of existe...
