Este libro pretende llenar un hueco existente en la literatura canina muy importante porque, a pesar de que existe numerosa bibliografía sobre el adiestramiento de perros en muchas variantes y disciplinas tales como: obediencia, el cachorro, clicker, rastreo, psicología, etc., lo cierto es que no existe ningúnmanual completo, moderno y monográfico sobre el adiestramiento de perros de deensa, a pesar de que el número tanto de aficionados como de profesionales quee dedican al entrenamiento de perros, tanto en disciplinas deportivas como dedefensa civil, ha aumentado espectacularmente durante la última década. Esa esla principal razón por la que los autores se embarcaron en la elaboración deeste libro y, naturalmente, la pasión que sienten por estas disciplinas es loque les ha motivado a hacerlo. Este libro es el resultado de los casi sesentaaños de experiencia que reúnen los autores en el adiestramiento y práctica deesta especialidad.

A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.
