PLASTICITY AT THE TWILIGHT OF WRITING

The book "Plasticity at the Twilight of Writing" is Catherine Malabou's retrospective look at over a decade of her philosophical research. It is a fragment of an intellectual autobiography, and at the same time a philosophical manifesto that declares an epochal change and the need to go beyond the assumptions of Derrida's deconstruction. Malabou argues that we are facing the twilight of writing as a dominant figure of thought, which is replaced by plasticity – a key stake in the life of a subject exposed to the randomness of the world and a future without identity.

• Retrospective look at Malabou's philosophical research
• Philosophical manifesto declaring an epochal change
• Need to go beyond Derrida's deconstruction
• Twilight of writing as a dominant figure of thought
• Plasticity as a key stake in the life of the subject
• Analysis of the development of thinking about plasticity from Hegel to Derrida
• Materialistic ontology of the metamorphosis of being

Malabou analyzes how thinking about plasticity has developed in philosophical projects from Hegel, through Heidegger, to Derrida. Her concept is not a break with previous proposals, but an attempt to transform them. By juxtaposing Hegel's dialectic, Heidegger's project of destroying metaphysics and Derrida's deconstruction, the author extracts elements useful in developing the issue of plasticity and the materialistic ontology of the metamorphosis of being. From the confrontation of these concepts emerges the philosophy of plasticity as a category characterizing the organization of reality in the post-metaphysical era, describing the material self-organization of thinking and being.

This book is not only an intellectual journey through philosophical concepts, but also an attempt to understand the modern world, in which plasticity becomes a key element. Malabou shows how plasticity affects our perception of reality, identity and the future. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ontology and modern intellectual challenges.
