Arne De Boever teaches American Studies in the School of Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. He is the author of Plastic Sovereignties (2016), Finance Fictions (2018) and Against Aesthetic Exceptionalism (2019).

De Boever has done a remarkable job presenting my thought to the English-speaking public, as well as to the wider public abroad. His book isn't just an introduction; it's an overview. He has contextualized my Sino-philosophical project while at the same time taking aspects that are usually kept separate and setting them in communication and tension. The book serves as more than just a complement to my work; it serves as a brilliant interpretation.

• Introduction: 'Not the exceptional, but the unheard-of' / 1: Chinese Utopias in Contemporary French Thought / 2: In Between Landscape and the Nude / 3: In Management as in War / 4: François Jullien in Dialogue / 5: Conclusion: For Future François Julliens
