This book argues that the displacement of anthropocentrism must cultivate a human\/nonhuman relationality that affirms the immanent transcendency spawned by our phantasmatic humanness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Posthumanists, new materialists, neovitalists, cosmopoliticians, accelerationists, xenofeminists, post-poststructuralists, and speculative realists will have much to argue with here. But this is an argument they-we-would be well advised to have at this historical moment-a decade or two into the broader 'nonhuman turn'-given the often baroque claims, naive enthusiasms, and extravagant contradictions performed in its name. In Peterson's meticulous and elliptical critique we encounter a forceful Counter-Reformation against the more heretical proclamations of posthumanism; along with a nuanced insistence that-when all is said and done-we are human, all too human, after all.\" -- -Dominic Pettman The New School for Social Research\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e (1) The Scandal of the Human: Immanent Transcendency and the Question of Animal Language \u003cbr\u003e (2) Sovereign Silence: The Desire for Answering Speech\u003cbr\u003e (3) The Gravity of Melancholia: A Critique of Speculative Realism \u003cbr\u003e (4) Listing Toward Cosmocracy: The Limits of Hospitality\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406149394775,"sku":"9780823277803","price":22.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780823277803.jpg?v=1730494698","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/monkey-trouble-9780823277803","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
