Reviews

No one else could have pulled off what Geoffrey Bennington has accomplished in the strikingly original Scatter 2. The book stands alone and I suspect will prove more accessible to many readers than Scatter 1. Catch Bennington at full stride as he walks his readers through the familiar tradition of Western political philosophy, only to show that, by virtue of his illuminating insight, that tradition is no longer quite as familiar as we thought.--Robert Bernasconi, Pennsylvania State University
