What is Letting be. Volume I, The life intense : a modern obsession about?

## Analyses our modern obsession with intense experiences in terms of the metaphysics of intensity * [Read an extract from __The Life Intense__, 'What electricity has done to thought', on the Edinburgh University Press blog](https://euppublishingblog.com/2018/10/23/what-electricity-has-done-to-thought-an-excerpt-from-the-life-intense-by-tristan-garcia/%22) Our lives today are oppressed by the demand that we live, feel and experience with ever greater intensity. We are enticed to try exotic flavours and smells; urged to enjoy a wide range of sexual experiences; pushed to engage in extreme sports and recreational drugs – all in the pursuit of some new, unheard-of intensity. Tristan Garcia argues that such intensity rarely lives up to its promise. It always comes at a price: one that defines the ethical predicament of contemporary life. The notion of intensity was the hidden key to Garcia’s landmark book __Form and Object__. In __The Life Intense__, the first part of his ambitious Letting Be trilogy, he begins to develop it in detail. This first book focuses on ethics; the forthcoming two books look at politics and metaphysics respectively.
