Barbara Stiegler is a French philosopher and professor of political philosophy at Université Bordeaux Montaigne, where she directs the master's program in care, ethics, and health. A specialist in Nietzsche and the philosophies of life, she has become one of France's most prominent critics of neoliberalism, tracing its genealogy to Darwinian ideas of adaptation. Her essay Il faut s'adapter was a crossover hit in France and appeared in English as Adapt!

Stiegler traces the political imperative to 'adapt' back to the 1920s debate between Walter Lippmann and John Dewey over Darwinism, expertise, and democracy, uncovering the biological roots of neoliberalism and asking what a democratic politics of life could be. Translated by Adam Hocker.
