Books by Arne De Boever

Arne de Boever offers an accessible introduction to Francois Jullien's work, highlighting Jullien's work at the intersection of Chinese and Western thought and drawing out the 'unthought-of' in both traditions of thinking. In the process he emphatically challenges some of the core assumptions of Western reasoning.

Finance Fictions examines the tension between psychosis and realism in the contemporary finance novel and shows that compared to earlier instances of the genre (Wolfe; Ellis), the 21st-century finance novel (Alger; Harris; Houellebecq; Lerner) develops a new realist approach to a contemporary economy of financial instruments and automated trading.

Through a sustained engagement with the work of Giorgio Agamben and Catherine Malabou, and against the background of contemporary political phenomena, Arne De Boever explores what positive political possibilities the notion of sovereignty might still hold.
