Building on discussions originating in post-humanism, the non-philosophy of François Laruelle, and the science of “species being of humanity” stemming from Marx''s critique of philosophy, Katerina Kolozova proposes a radical consideration of capitalism''s economic exploitation of life.

This book uses François Laruelle''s work to think through questions of “practical ethics” and bring the abstract tools of Laruelle''s non-philosophy into conversation with other critical methods in the humanities. Kolozova centres the question of the animal at the very heart of what it means for us as human beings to think and act in the world, and the mistreatment of animality that underpins the logic of capitalism.
