Singularities at the Threshold

"At stake in this book are the fundamental questions of philosophy. The notion of singularity is at the same time the crucial topic addressed here and a lens that allows reframing the conceptual foundations of philosophy as a practice of thought. Challenging the very paradigm of subjectivity, Bruno Gulli opens up new vistas on the way in which we inhabit the world. He sheds light on the materiality of servitude without ever losing sight of the possibility of liberation. Singularities at the Threshold is a major philosophical work, with important implications for the politics of contemporary social movements." -- Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna "In this tour de force, Bruno Gulli throws into question the dominant politics of number and the traditional notions of subjectivity known to the philosophical community. He creatively destroys the concept of the individual through a radical synthetic grounding of the singular not as a result but as an infinite and open-ended process. Giving us a highly original conceptualization of this process as trans-dividuation, Gulli establishes his work as an avant-garde philosophy, one in which new weapons of criticism are imaginatively forged and an extraordinary effort is made to think through our heightened contingencies and necessary subversions." -- Michael Pelias, LIU Brooklyn "No one is a more novel reader of the most militant lines of European philosophy than Bruno Gulli . This book is a persistent pleasure to read, as Gulli makes his way through his argument with verve and commitment." -- Stefano Harney, Ton Duc Thang University
