Reviews

“Habit’s Pathways makes a valuable contribution to discussions and theories of habit in its assemblage and detailed analysis of all the important thinkers on the subject, from Augustine, Kant, and Dewey to Deleuze, Foucault, and Malabou, devising what surely must be the new standard account of habit in contemporary Western thought. A tremendous achievement.” -- Susan Zieger, author of * The Mediated Mind: Affect, Ephemera, and Consumerism in the Nineteenth Century *
