The Nick of Time:

Politics, Evolution and the Untimely
Front Cover
1 Review
Allen & Unwin, 2004 - Becoming (Philosophy) - 314 pages
In this pathbreaking new work, Elizabeth Grosz proposes a theory of becoming in place of the prevailing emphasis on being in social, political and biological discourse.

She argues that factoring in the relentless forward movement of time throws new light on the ever-growing complication of social life, and also on political struggle.
