Mutual aid is, in Peter Kropotkin’s famous formulation, a factor of evolution, but also a conscious political strategy undertaken by activists in times of crisis. While this combination of biology and politics has been a source of controversy, and even embarrassment, recent developments demand a rethink. The contributions in this volume aim to renew interest in the idea of mutual aid, and to consider how biological claims might be incorporated into political projects without appearing as essentialist constraints. They do so in dialogue with Catherine Malabou, whose work insists on the importance of the biological while rejecting any notions of biological determinism. They thus point to the necessity of solidarity and mutual aid for understanding our social life, while releasing them from the biological and symbolic chains in which they often appear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChap. 1 Introduction – Petr Kouba, Catherine Malabou, Dan Swain, Petr Urban\u003cbr\u003eChap. 2 Politics of Plasticity: On Solidarity and Cooperation – Catherine Malabou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I ‘An Internal Principle of Cooperation, Assistance and Repair’ - Solidarity and Plasticity\u003cbr\u003eChap. 3 The Dynamics of Plasticity – Rasmus Sandness Haukedal\u003cbr\u003eChap. 4 Materialisms, Old and New: Solidarity and Individuation in Gilbert Simondon and Catherine Malabou – Arianne Conty\u003cbr\u003eChap. 5 Solidarity, Cooperation and Equality in View of Plasticity – Petr Kouba\u003cbr\u003eChap. 6 Ethics of the Care for the Brain: Neuroplasticity with Stirner, Malabou, and Foucault – Elmo Feiten\u003cbr\u003eChap. 7 On the Concept of Nature, or the Biology and Politics of Cooperation – Bartłomiej Błesznowski, Cezary Rudnicki\u003cbr\u003eChap. 8 Solidarity as Necessity: Subject, Structure, Practices – Thomas Telios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II ‘The War of Each Against All Is Not the Law of Nature’ - Mutual Aid Between Biology and Politics\u003cbr\u003eChap. 9 Depressive Revolution and Anxious Solidarity - Julie Reshe\u003cbr\u003eChap. 10 Mutual Aid Technologies: Plasticity \"All the Way Down\" – Eugene Kuchinov\u003cbr\u003eChap. 11 Solidarity: not altruism – Jonas F Costa\u003cbr\u003eChap. 12 Selfish Genes, Evil Nature: The Christian Echoes in Neo-Atheism – Ole M.
