Pilate and Jesus
2015 || Paperback || Giorgio Agamben || Stanford University Press

Modern French Philosophy
1981 || Paperback || Vincent Descombes || Cambridge University Press
This is a critical introduction to modern French philosophy, commissioned from one of the liveliest contemporary practitioners and intended for an English-speaking readership.
