Posthumanism represents a significant new research direction both
for International Relations and the social sciences. It emerges
from questions about inter-species relations which challenge
dominant perceptions of what it means to be human. Rather than
seeing the human species as 'in nature' posthumanist thinking
considers the species as 'of nature'. The work of posthumanist
thinkers has sought to dispute accepted notions of what it means to
be human, raising profound questions about our relations with the
rest of nature. The volume commences with an overview of the
influence thinkers have had on the development of posthumanist
thinking. Key ideas in International Relations are interrogated and
reconceptualised and specific case studies are presented with a
focus on inter-species relations. The work allows for a
consideration of the limits of the posthumanist move and provides
space for critics to argue that such an approach opens the
discipline up to a biological determinism, and that a focus on
inter-human relations should mark the boundaries of the discipline.
The essays collected in this volume provide an overview of
contributions from posthumanist thinkers with the particular
intention of providing a succinct introduction to the area and
should appeal to scholars and students in Politics, IR and
philosophy.
