Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Archer, Ephraim, and Maxwell have compiled a fascinating array of analyses of what Nietzsche termed `second nature': the agonistic, original attempt to create and recreate the human self. The collection brings together familiar and new voices, each investigating the overlaps and mutual constitutions between nature and culture, human and nonhuman, life and matter. The book leaves us aware of the struggles with the world in which beings of all sorts engage, over the materiality of life, over the situatedness of being, and over the inevitability of death." -- -Kennan Ferguson * University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee *

Reseña del editor:

The essays collected here, by both eminent and emerging scholars, engage interlocutors from Machiavelli to Arendt. Individually, they contribute compelling readings of important political thinkers and add fresh insights to debates in areas such as environmentalism and human rights. Together, the volume issues a call to think anew about nature, not only as a traditional concept that should be deconstructed or affirmed but also as a site of human political activity and struggle worthy of sustained theoretical attention.
