Melville's Philosophies departs from a long tradition of critical
assessments of Melville that dismissed his philosophical capacities
as ingenious but muddled. Its contributors do not apply philosophy
to Melville in order to detect just how much of it he knew or
understood. To the contrary, they try to hear the philosophical
arguments themselves-often very strange and quite radical-that
Melville never stopped articulating and reformulating. What emerges
is a Melville who is materialistically oriented in a radical way, a
Melville who thinks about life forms not just in the context of
contemporary sciences but also ontologically. Melville's
Philosophies recovers a Melville who is a thinker of great caliber,
which means obliquely but dramatically reversing the way the
critical tradition has characterized his ideas. Finally, as a
result of the readings collected here, Melville emerges as a very
relevant thinker for contemporary philosophical concerns, such as
the materialist turn, climate change, and post-humanism.
