–The New Yorker "The giant of Ljubljana provides the best intellectual high science since
Anti-Oedipus."

–Guardian "The most dangerous philosopher in the West."
–Adam Kirsch, The New Republic "Exhilarating, inspiring, thought-provoking."
–David Schneider, Prospect "Addictively eclectic . . . He contrives to leave the reader, as usual, both exhilarated and disoriented, standing in the middle of a scorched plain strewn with the rubble of smashed idols."
–Steven Poole, The Guardian
"Outrageous, provocative and entertaining."
–Terry Eagleton "A monument to imaginative, risk-taking and rigorous scholarship."
