“The Mind–Body Politic is a book about the pervasiveness of neoliberal, capitalist ideology and the harmful ways in which we are affected by it, even outside of our own awareness. ... The Mind–Body Politic is a philosophical essay that at times reads more as a call to arms. ... most of the time, theoretically sound and argumentatively strong. ... it will undoubtedly be illuminating at least to the politically involved philosopher of mind … . ” (Josephine Pascoe, Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, Vol. 23 (1), 2024)“The book is not only an exposition of political discourse but concurrently an analysis of form, a rich and ambitious undertaking.” (Isobel Armstrong, Modern Philology, Vol. 117 (1), May, 2019)
