Landgraf draws on thorough research and engagement with Nietzsche's texts, shedding new light on aspects of Nietzsche’s philosophy that are perhaps less known, such as his writing on insects. \u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Posthumanism\u003c\/i\u003e asks what we can learn from swarms and hives about human ethics and politics.

Focusing specifically on Nietzsche’s reception of the life sciences of his day and his reflections on technology-research areas as central to Nietzsche’s work as they are to posthumanism-Edgar Landgraf provides fresh readings of Nietzsche and a critique of post- and transhumanist philosophies.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Through Landgraf’s inquiry, lesser-known aspects of Nietzsche’s writings emerge, including the neurophysiological basis of his epistemology (which anticipates contemporary debates on embodiment), his concerns with insects and the emergent social properties they exhibit, and his reflections on the hominization and cultivation effects of technology. In the process, Landgraf challenges major commonplaces about Nietzsche’s philosophy, including the idea that his social theory asserts the rights of “the strong” over “the weak.” The ethos of critical posthumanism also offers a new perspective on key ethical and political contentions of Nietzsche’s writings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNietzsche’s Posthumanism\u003c\/i\u003e presents a uniquely framed introduction to tenets of Nietzsche’s thought and major trends in posthumanism, making it an essential exploration for anyone invested in Nietzsche and his contemporary relevance, and in posthumanism and its genealogy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRetail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contents \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Abbreviations \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 1.
