Beskrivning
Discussing different aspects of the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon, Raymond Ruyer, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and including some contemporary thinkers, such as Catherine Malabou, Bernard Stiegler, Bruno Latour, and Donna J. Haraway, Audron? ukauskait? argues that all these threads can be seen as precursors to organism-oriented ontology. Rather than concentrating on individuals and identities, contemporary philosophy is increasingly interested in processes, multiplicities and potential for change, that is, in those features that define living beings. ukauskait? argues that the capacity of living beings for self-organisation, creativity and contingency can act as an antidote to biopolitical power and control in the times of the Anthropocene.

Recensioner i media

This is an extraordinary book. Žukauskaitė has marshaled the resources of a wide range of contemporary thinkers— Simondon, Ruyer, Canguilhem, Deleuze and Guattari, Malabou, Stiegler, Latour and Haraway—to develop an organism-oriented ontology that is focused not only on the body but, more profoundly, on the multiple processes of individuation that constitute the body. Žukauskaitė is charting a path to the philosophy of the future that the rest of us can only follow.
