Stuart Elden is Professor of Political Theory and Geography at the University of Warwick

Elden should be applauded for writing with such sharp focus, while simultaneously never reducing the genuine complexity of Heidegger's thought. Contemporary Political Theory Elden is a careful scholar, who writes in a clear, accessible prose. He has identified all the important texts germane to his argument and provides a good rationale to the volume as proposed. -- Dr Laurence Hemming, Heythrop College, University of London I wholeheartedly recommend this book with its rich lode of expositions of Heidegger's texts on the political in its ancient, modern and postmodern manifestations. -- Professor Theodore Kisiel, Northern Illinois University Stuart Elden's Speaking Against Number takes full advantage of the most recent volumes of Heidegger's previously unpublished lectures and manuscripts to develop a rich new approach to his political thought. The resulting book should be widely read, especially by everyone who thinks they already know all there is to know about this topic. -- Professor Robert Bernasconi, University of Memphis This volume shows wide-ranging and sound scholarship. Elden has done a superior job of weaving together many important strands of Heidegger's thought. -- Richard Polt Continental Philosophy Review Elden's book manages to reinvigorate a seemingly tired debate regarding Heidegger's political engagement. This is a unique achievement in that he succeeds in re-opening a question that continues to haunt readers of Heidegger: to what extent can we separate the man from his thought? -- Paul Ennis, UCD Borderlands e-journal An importantly original contribution to the question of Heidegger and the political. -- Babette E.
