About this book

In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes us to explore a philosophical fantasy: to imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? While Heidegger asks: "Why is there something and not rather nothing?", Whitehead asks: "How is it that there is always something new?" Shaviro argues that, in a world where virtually everything - from popular music to DNA - is being sampled and recombined, Whitehead's question is arguably the most pressing. En Sin Criterios, Steven Shaviro nos propone explorar una fantasía filosófica: imaginar un mundo en el que Alfred North Whitehead toma el lugar de Martin Heidegger. ¿Qué habría pasado si Whitehead, en vez de Heidegger, hubiese fijado la agenda del pensamiento posmoderno? Mientras que Heidegger pregunta: “¿Por qué hay algo y no más bien nada?”, Whitehead pregunta: “¿Cómo es que siempre hay algo nuevo?” Shaviro argumenta que, en un mundo donde prácticamente todo –desde la música popular al ADN– está siendo sampleado y recombinado, la pregunta de Whitehead es sin duda la más urgente.
