Butler concludes the Introduction to this book thus: Acted on, I act still, but it is hardly this I that acts alone, and even though, and precisely because, it never gets done with being undone. In these eloquent, passionately dialectical, and vertiginous essays Butler relentlessly tracks our being undone by others, by language, by things, by institutions, and the normative formations that hold us upright beyond our standing upright in the writings of, among others, Descartes, Spinoza, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Irigaray, and Fanon. This is echt Butler: a necessity for those who already know her work, and a generous point of entry for those philosophers who have yet to find their way to her thought. --J. M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research
