In this personal book, philosopher Marina Garcés gathers a series of writings, in which she pays homage to and dialogues with classical and contemporary figures that have influenced her work. Thinking about also implies thinking with (others), and, in a way, Garcés and her (bad) company have produced a synergistic book about freedom and truth.

In these pages, Büchner presents us Danton and Robespierre chatting in front of the gallows; Diderot and Sophie Volland describe their love in a hollow eternity; Saint Teresa chops onions while talking to her inquisitor; and Albert Camus discusses deception… An engaging compendium that displays the bounds of knowledge, care, and generosity embedded in Garcés’ ruminations.
