With the two short and more personal monographs that form <i>Acting Out</i>, he will reach a wider audience and find his way toward the center of critical debate. Both monographs are superb portals to his thought and are seminal episodes in his vaster project. <i>How I Became a Philosopher</i>, a fascinating and arresting account of the non-academic origins of Stiegler as writer-thinker, raises the specter of where philosophy changes the world (Marx), but also where the world can be reinscribed in a philosophic-social act of an authorship; <i>To Love, To Love Me, To Love Us</i> interrogates the figure of love in the context of a contemporary technology of the spirit, penetrating and challenging the cognitive regimes of contemporary politics.--Tom Cohen "SUNY at Albany"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bernard Stiegler is Head of the Department of Cultural Development at the Pompidou Center in Paris and co-founder of the political group <i>Ars Industrialis</i>. In the last five years alone, he has authored seventeen books.
