Transversals explores the most exciting collisions within contemporary
thought, as philosophy encounters nature, materiality, time, technology, sci-
ence, culture, politics, art and everyday life. The series aims to present work
which is both theoretically innovative and challenging, while retaining a
commitment to rigour and clarity and to the power and precision of thought.
