Humankind by philosopher Timothy Morton is 40% off

It is in our relationship with non-humans that we decided the fate of our humanity. Becoming human means creating a network of kindness and solidarity with non-human beings, in the name of a broader understanding of reality that both includes and overcomes the notion of species.

Humankind by philosopher Timothy Morton is 40% off

What is it that makes humans human? As science and technology challenge the boundaries between life and non-life, between organic and inorganic, this ancient question is more timely than ever.

Humankind: Solidarity with Non-Human People is 40% off until Sunday, October 8 at 11:59PM PST.

Timothy Morton radically calls for solidarity between humans and non-humans. In this interview, he discusses the political idea of the collective, subscendence, solidarity, fighting Nazis, and lots more.

It is in our relationship with non-humans that we decided the fate of our humanity. Becoming human, claims Morton, actually means creating a network of kindness and solidarity with non-human beings, in the name of a broader understanding of reality that both includes and overcomes the notion of species. Negotiating the politics of humanity is the first and crucial step to reclaim the upper scales of ecological coexistence, not to let Monsanto and cryogenically suspended billionaires to define them and own them.
