Book review: the reject: community, politics and religion after the subject by Irving Goh

In The Reject: Community, Politics and Religion after the Subject, Irving Goh draws upon and discusses a wide variety of twentieth-century French thinkers in order to elucidate ‘the reject’ as not only a crucial figure of thought for the contemporary world, but also as traceable throughout the course of philosophical histories. Outlining the relationship between Goh’s notion of ‘the reject’ and existing conceptions of ‘the subject’, Bjarke Mørkøre Stigel Hansen welcomes Goh’s impassioned contextualisation and defence of the reject as a textual and empirical figure as a timely addition to the literature.
