Cole mobilizes the force and joy of his philosophical intelligence-as only a theoretically inflected medievalist could-in the direction of the most persuasive account we now have of theory's origins. Brilliantly argued and beautifully written, this book shows us not only how theory was born but why it is still very much alive and, in Cole's hands, why it has such a compelling future. (Eduardo Cadava, coauthor of The Itinerant Languages of Photography)
