Christopher Watkin’s book received from Edinburgh

June 9, 2011

Christopher Watkin, Difficult Atheism: Post-Theological Thinking in Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy and Quentin Meillassoux (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2011).

Edinburgh order page HERE.

Watkin is one of the few Anglophones other than me to have read L’Inexistence divine. However, we read different versions. Watkin seems to have gone into the microfilm vaults of the ENS and read the 1997 dissertation version, while I worked with the 2003 revision which is the one Meillassoux provided to me.

In any case, if you’re interested in L’Inexistence divine, you now have two sources to work with, both from Edinburgh University Press: Watkin’s already published book, and my own soon-to-be-published Quentin Meillassoux: Philosophy in the Making, HERE.
