- Catherine Malabou, a professor at the Centre for Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, London, is a contemporary French philosopher whose work spans continental philosophy and neuroscience/ neuropsychoanalysis. A former student of renowned French philosopher Jacques Derrida, she is the author of numerous books, including The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic (1996), The Heidegger Change: On the Fantastic in Philosophy (2004), What Should We Do With Our Brain? (2004), Plasticity at the Dusk of Writing: Dialectic, Destruction, Deconstruction (2004) and The New Wounded: From Neurosis to Brain Damage (2007). In light of the most recent neurobiological research on the emotional brain, Malabou proposes to replace Deleuze's statement about Spinoza - "inspiring sad passions is necessary for the exercise of power" - with "inspiring indifference has become necessary for the exercise of power." Have coolness and unconcern replaced wonder?
