Bennington's Scatter 1 is a sophisticated, detailed, and strikingly original demonstration of the political efficacy of deconstruction. As always with Bennington to read him is to undergo an education in reading. --Robert Bernasconi, Pennsylvania State University

Bennington's Scatter 1 is a sophisticated, detailed, and strikingly original demonstration of the political efficacy of deconstruction. As always with Bennington to read him is to undergo an education in reading. --Robert Bernasconi, Pennsylvania State University The depth, breadth, and bristling erudition of Bennington's text are simply breathtaking. Tracking his theme across a shifting and complex terrain--Foucault's evasiveness about rhetoric, Heidegger's fateful decision, and Derrida's unthematized appeal to dignity--Bennington hunts down the thought of a politics worthy of the name. Not a politics that is free from 'the politics of politics,' but certainly free from the self-righteousness and moralism of those who think they are. This is a decisive book for our time and its baleful pieties. --Simon Glendinning, London School of Economics and Political Science
