Cornell and Seely argue for a \u003cem\u003espirit\u003c\/em\u003e of revolution that is at once wary of the false hegemony of man, while nevertheless insisting on the promise of a new politics that finds its energy in sexual difference and queerness. This book will generate lively debate; it is not one more “turn” towards inhuman, posthuman or non-human materialisms, but it is all the more revolutionary for holding on to struggles of the polity.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClaire Colebrook, Penn State\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe Spirit of Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e is a courageous, very engaging and timely work that packs a real revolutionary punch. Supplementing political economy, the authors speak directly and brilliantly to the erotic, racial, and spiritual challenges of self-transformation that must be integral parts of any attempt at re-imagining the urgently needed socialist alternative to contemporary capitalism. This is engaged philosophy at its best, with great power to expand consciousness and deepen our ethical responses to the planetary dimensions of crisis that we must now address. An extremely important philosophical work.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaget Henry, Brown University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
