Eschewing both of these orthodoxies, \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Improvisation\u003c\/i\u003e ranges across the arts--from music to theater, dance to comedy--and considers the improvised dimension of philosophy itself in order to elaborate an innovative concept of improvisation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Gary Peters turns to many of the major thinkers within continental philosophy--including Heidegger, Nietzsche, Adorno, Kant, Benjamin, and Deleuze--offering readings of their reflections on improvisation and exploring improvisational elements within their thinking. Peters's wry, humorous style offers an antidote to the frequently overheated celebration of freedom and community that characterizes most writing on the subject. Expanding the field of what counts as improvisation, \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Improvisation\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by anyone striving to comprehend the creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Peters\u003c\/b\u003e is chair of critical and cultural theory at York St. John University and the author of \u003ci\u003eIrony and Singularity: Aesthetic Education from Kant to Levinas\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714914185523,"sku":"9780226662794","price":66.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZS9KelZzVEdiVndHbDJWd2E2ekpBZz09.webp?v=1763586027","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-philosophy-of-improvisation-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
