《后人类》讲述这个过程就是我所说的“后人类中心论的后人文主义”，也是我整部书的论点。它关系到摆脱诸如道德理性、统一身份，超验意识或者固有的普世道德价值观。我的聚焦完全落在主体形构的规范性的中立关系框架和可能的伦理关系框架上。对于后人类主体的新规范性框架的详细阐释是集体制定的，非盈利为导向的强度试验，即对我们具体生成对象进行试验。它们是一个实践（一个扎根的共同事业），而非一个意见（常识信念）。我的游牧主体概念具身化了这个研究方法，通过将关联性扮演的本体论角色前景化，把非统一论主体性和伦理责任结合起来。

The question of what defines the human, and of what is human about the humanities, have been shaken up by the radical critiques of humanism and the displacement of anthropomorphism that have gained currency in recent years, propelled in part by rapid advances in our knowledge of living systems and of their genetic and algorithmic codes coupled with the global expansion of a knowledge-intensive capitalism.
In Posthuman Knowledge, Rosi Braidotti takes a closer look at the impact of these developments on three major areas: the constitution of our subjectivity, the general production of knowledge and the practice of the academic humanities. Posthuman knowledge is not so much an alternative form of knowledge as a critical call: a call to build a multi-layered and multidirectional project that displaces anthropocentrism while pursuing the analysis of the discriminatory and violent aspects of human activity and interaction wherever they occur.
Situated between the exhilaration of scientific and technological advances on the one hand and the threat of climate change devastation on the other, the posthuman convergence encourages us to think hard and creatively about what we are in the process of becoming.

Nomadic Subjects argues for a new kind of philosophical thinking, one that would include the insights of feminism and abandon the hegemonic mode that is conventionally adopted in high theory. Braidotti's personal, surprising, and lively prose insists on an integration of feminism in mainstream discourse. The essays explore problems that are central to current feminist debates including Western epistemology's relation to the "woman question," feminism and biomedical ethics, European feminism, and how American feminists might relate to European movements.

The discussions about the ethical, political and human implications of the postmodernist condition have been raging for longer than most of us care to remember. They have been especially fierce within feminism. After a brief flirtation with postmodern thinking in the 1980s, mainstream feminist circles seem to have turned their back on the staple notions of poststructuralist philosophy. Metamorphoses takes stock of the situation and attempts to reset priorities within the poststructuralist feminist agenda. Cross-referring in a creative way to Deleuze's and Irigaray's respective philosophies of difference, the book addresses key notions such as embodiment, immanence, sexual difference, nomadism and the materiality of the subject. Metamorphoses also focuses on the implications of these theories for cultural criticism and a redefinition of politics. It provides a vivid overview of contemporary culture, with special emphasis on technology, the monstrous imaginary and the recurrent obsession with 'the flesh' in the age of techno-bodies. This highly original contribution to current debates is written for those who find changes and transformations challenging and necessary. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy, feminist theory, gender studies, sociology, social theory and cultural studies.

Manuel DeLanda provides the first detailed overview of the assemblage theory found in germ in Deleuze and Guattari’s writings. Through a series of case studies DeLanda shows how the concept can be applied to economic, linguistic and military history as well as to metaphysics, science and mathematics.
DeLanda then presents the real power of assemblage theory by advancing it beyond its original formulation – allowing for the integration of communities, institutional organisations, cities and urban regions. And he challenges Marxist orthodoxy with a Leftist politics of assemblages.

In the aftermath of the methodical destruction of Iraq during the Persian Gulf War, the power and efficiency of new computerized weapons and surveillance technology have become chillingly apparent. For Manuel DeLanda, however, this new weaponry has a significance that goes far beyond military applications; he shows how it represents a profound historical shift in the relation of human beings both to machines and to information. The recent emergence of intelligent and autonomous bombs and missiles equipped with artificial perception and decision-making capabilities is, for Delanda, part of a much larger transfer of cognitive structures from humans to machines in the late twentieth century.War in the Age of Intelligent Machines provides a rich panorama of these astonishing developments; it details the mutating history of information analysis and machinic organization from the mobile siege artillery of the Renaissance, the clockwork armies of the Thirty Years War, the Napoleonic campaigns, and the Nazi blitzkrieg up to present-day cybernetic battle-management systems and satellite reconnaissance networks. Much more than a history of warfare, DeLanda's account is an unprecedented philosophical and historical reflection on the changing forms through which human bodies and materials are combined, organized, deployed, and made effective.Manuel DeLanda has published essays on philosophy and film theory. He is a computer programmer and a film artist.A Swerve Edition, distributed for Zone Books

Following in the wake of his groundbreaking War in the Age of Intelligent Machines, Manuel De Landa presents a radical synthesis of historical development over the last one thousand years. More than a simple expository history, A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History sketches the outlines of a renewed materialist philosophy of history in the tradition of Fernand Braudel, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, while also engaging the critical new understanding of material processes derived from the sciences of dynamics. Working against prevailing attitudes that see history as an arena of texts, discourses, ideologies, and metaphors, De Landa traces the concrete movements and interplays of matter and energy through human populations in the last millennium.De Landa attacks three domains that have given shape to human societies: economics, biology, and linguistics. In every case, what one sees is the self-directed processes of matter and energy interacting with the whim and will of human history itself to form a panoramic vision of the West free of rigid teleology and naive notions of progress, and even more important, free of any deterministic source of its urban, institutional, and technological forms. Rather, the source of all concrete forms in the West's history are shown to derive from internal morphogenetic capabilities that lie within the flow of matter-energy itself.

An account of the different ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body, from prehistory to the present.
An increasingly influential school of thought in cognitive science views the mind as embodied, extended, and distributed rather than brain-bound or "all in the head." This shift in perspective raises important questions about the relationship between cognition and material culture, posing major challenges for philosophy, cognitive science, archaeology, and anthropology. In How Things Shape the Mind, Lambros Malafouris proposes a cross-disciplinary analytical framework for investigating the ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body. Using a variety of examples and case studies, he considers how those ways might have changed from earliest prehistory to the present. Malafouris's Material Engagement Theory definitively adds materiality -- the world of things, artifacts, and material signs -- into the cognitive equation. His account not only questions conventional intuitions about the boundaries and location of the human mind but also suggests that we rethink classical archaeological assumptions about human cognitive evolution.

From the pencil to the puppet to the drone—the humanities and the social sciences continue to ride a wave of interest in material culture and the world of things. How should we understand the force and figure of that wave as it shapes different disciplines? Other Things explores this question by considering a wide assortment of objects—from beach glass to cell phones, sneakers to skyscrapers—that have fascinated a range of writers and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Man Ray, Spike Lee, and Don DeLillo.
The book ranges across the literary, visual, and plastic arts to depict the curious lives of things. Beginning with Achilles’s Shield, then tracking the object/thing distinction as it appears in the work of Martin Heidegger and Jacques Lacan, Bill Brown ultimately focuses on the thingness disclosed by specific literary and artistic works. Combining history and literature, criticism and theory, Other Things provides a new way of understanding the inanimate object world and the place of the human within it, encouraging us to think anew about what we mean by materiality itself.

《我们从未现代过:对称性人类学论集》将探讨的触角延伸到有关现代性、反现代性和后现代性的争论中，独具匠心地开创出他不同于后现代主义的“非现代”立场，力图在实践中将人类与非人类这对范畴联结起来，打破自然与历史之间的割裂以及前现代、现代和后现代之间的分裂，并通过组建准客体，重构其所谓的“现代性宪法”(the Modern Constitution)。本书已被翻译有多种语言出版，对当代科学哲学发展具有重大影响力。

《自然的政治：如何把科学带入民主》是法国当代著名哲学家、社会学家、人类学家布鲁诺·拉图尔于1999年推出的一部政治生态学著作，全书从自然、政治和科学三大领域，探讨我们能用政治生态学做什么的问题。该书赓续拉图尔之前著作的思路与特色，在该书中力图为政治生态学（不是作为学科，而是作为生态政治运动的“绿色运动”）设计新的理论建模，开辟新的科学社会学途径与思考空间，是一部不同于寻常悲天悯人的生态忧思录。

Meeting the Universe Halfway is an ambitious book with far-reaching implications for numerous fields in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. In this volume, Karen Barad, theoretical physicist and feminist theorist, elaborates her theory of agential realism. Offering an account of the world as a whole rather than as composed of separate natural and social realms, agential realism is at once a new epistemology, ontology, and ethics. The starting point for Barad's analysis is the philosophical framework of quantum physicist Niels Bohr. Barad extends and partially revises Bohr's philosophical views in light of current scholarship in physics, science studies, and the philosophy of science as well as feminist, poststructuralist, and other critical social theories. In the process, she significantly reworks understandings of space, time, matter, causality, agency, subjectivity, and objectivity. In an agential realist account, the world is made of entanglements of "social" and "natural" agencies, where the distinction between the two emerges out of specific intra-actions. Intra-activity is an inexhaustible dynamism that configures and reconfigures relations of space-time-matter. In explaining intra-activity, Barad reveals questions about how nature and culture interact and change over time to be fundamentally misguided. And she reframes understanding of the nature of scientific and political practices and their "interrelationship." Thus she pays particular attention to the responsible practice of science, and she emphasizes changes in the understanding of political practices, critically reworking Judith Butler's influential theory of performativity. Finally, Barad uses agential realism to produce a new interpretation of quantum physics, demonstrating that agential realism is more than a means of reflecting on science; it can be used to actually do science.

本书对从康德以来的批判哲学进行溯源式的再思考和批评，证明唯一绝对必然的就是自然法则的偶然性。本书让思考的对象从局部的关联转变为绝对之物，将其放置在与人世经验完全不同的关系中，进而化解传统哲学中“经验”与“超越”的区隔。

内容介绍
究竟是什么构成了真正的"实在"？
人类比我们日常感知中的非人类物更特别，更重要吗？
人们往往相信，只有我们感知到的事物才是实在的。近代哲学也强化了我们的这一观念，将我们人类自身看作极特殊的，与所有非人类物在本质上截然不同的。作为"物导向本体论"思潮的领军人物，哈曼在本书中向我们展示了这种本体论如何拒斥了人类对独异性的主张。哈曼认为，世界当然不仅仅是人类感知到的那个世界。他的哲学的中心观点是：一切物——无论是真实的、虚构的、自然的还是人造的，是人类还是非人类--都是彼此独立的存在。
在这部精彩的导论性著作中，哈曼以令人钦佩的清晰，向我们讲述了"物导向本体论"这一理论思潮的历史、主要观点和影响，它在现有各本体论学派中的位置、与其他竞争性理论如行动者网络理论的异同，它在政治和社会方面的意义所在，以及该理论近年来在包含艺术和建筑在内的很多学科中的应用。从福尔摩斯、独角兽、电子游戏到达达主义、伏尔泰和弦论，这本书将改变你看待万事万物的方式。

In this book the metaphysical system of Graham Harman is presented in lucid form, aided by helpful diagrams.
In Chapter 1, Harman gives his most forceful critique to date of philosophies that reject objects as a primary reality. All such rejections are tainted by either an undermining or overmining approach to objects. In Chapters 2 and 3, he reviews his concepts of sensual and real objects. In the process, he attacks the prestige normally granted to philosophies of human access, which Harman links for the first time to the already discredited Menos Paradox. In Chapters 4 through 7, Harman brings the reader up to speed on his interpretation of Heidegger, which culminates in a fourfold structure of objects linked by indirect causation. In Chapter 8, he speculates on the implications of this theory for the debate over panpsychism, which Harman both embraces and rejects. In Chapters 9 and 10, he introduces the term ontography as the study of the different possible permutations of objects and qualities, which he simplifies with easily remembered terminology drawn from standard playing cards.

This book is the first monograph on the theme of “new materialism,” an emerging trend in 21st century thought that has already left its mark in such fields as philosophy, cultural theory, feminism, science studies, and the arts. The first part of the book contains elaborate interviews with some of the most prominent new materialist scholars of today: Rosi Braidotti, Manuel DeLanda, Karen Barad, and Quentin Meillassoux. The second part situates the new materialist tradition in contemporary thought by singling out its transversal methodology, its position on sexual differing, and by developing the ethical and political consequences of new materialism.

Edited by Richard Grusin of the Center for 21st Century Studies, this is the first book to name and characterize—and therefore consolidate—a wide array of current critical, theoretical, and philosophical approaches to the humanities and social sciences under the concept of the nonhuman turn. Each of these approaches is engaged in decentering the human in favor of a concern for the nonhuman, understood by contributors in a variety of ways—in terms of animals, affectivity, bodies, materiality, technologies, and organic and geophysical systems. The nonhuman turn in twenty-first-century studies can be traced to multiple intellectual and theoretical developments from the last decades of the twentieth actor-network theory, affect theory, animal studies, assemblage theory, cognitive sciences, new materialism, new media theory, speculative realism, and systems theory. Such varied analytical and theoretical formations obviously diverge and disagree in many of their assumptions, objects, and methodologies. However, they all take up aspects of the nonhuman as critical to the future of twenty-first-century studies in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Unlike the posthuman turn, the nonhuman turn does not make a claim about teleology or progress in which we begin with the human and see a transformation from the human to the posthuman. Rather, the nonhuman turn insists (paraphrasing Bruno Latour) that “we have never been human,” that the human has always coevolved, coexisted, or collaborated with the nonhuman—and that the human is identified precisely by this indistinction from the nonhuman.

★深受吉尔·德勒兹、菲利克斯·加塔利、贝尔纳·斯蒂格勒、布鲁诺·拉图尔推崇的哲学家——吉尔伯特·西蒙东首部正式出版的中译本。
★在其哲学名著《个体及其物理—生物起源》中，西蒙东自问：“心理与生命是如何彼此相互区分的呢？”为求其解，他感到有必要首先回顾动物与人的生命观念。在本书中，西蒙东就生命、动物与人的生命之间的统一性，还有生命与智性、习惯、本能之间的关系提出了问题，为我们呈现了古往今来的思想家如何对此展开思考。
★动物与人的关系是什么？苏格拉底会说：人类理性与动物本能之间存在本质差别。柏拉图会说：人是一切动物的原型，动物是低等级的人。笛卡尔会说：动物既无智性亦无本能，它是一台机器、一种自动之物。西蒙东则会回答：动物与人之间并没有本质区别，一切都是存在，我们每一次都必须以特定的方式思考存在的意义。
- 内容简介 -
本书脱胎于吉尔伯特·西蒙东两次课程的讲稿，主要探讨动物与人的关系问题。这虽然算不上哲学的根本问题，却一再闪现于古往今来诸多哲学巨擘的思想图景之中。在书中，西蒙东为我们梳理了该问题从古希腊罗马时期一直到17世纪的简明历史。他不仅论及了苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德和笛卡尔等哲学史上最重要人物的相关思想，还谈到了许多不常被哲学家们触探的作者，如亚西西的圣方济各、蒙田、博须埃和拉封丹等人的相关著述。西蒙东没有执着于将诸学说的论述推至艰深晦涩的抽象层面，而是从观念的历史维度切入，清晰地为我们呈现了不同流派的学说对该问题的提出与解决而做的贡献。从中，我们可以看到，动物与人的关系问题不仅牵涉认识论的维度，还广泛地包括了伦理，甚至宗教，以及最终的形而上学的维度。
