The philosopher Stanley Cavell once asked, "Can a human being be
free of human nature?" "On Ceasing to Be Human" examines
philosophical as well as literary texts and contexts, in which
various senses of Cavell's question might be explored and
developed. During the past thirty or so years, the very concept of
"being human" has been called into question within such fields as
cybernetics, animal-rights theory, analytic philosophy
(neurophilosophy in particular). This book examines these issues,
but its main concern is the link between freedom and nonidentity
that Cavell's question implies, and which turns out to be a major
concern among the thinkers Bruns takes up in this book: Maurice
Blanchot, Emmanuel Levinas, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and
Felix Guattari, and Jacques Derrida. Each of these is, in different
ways, a philosopher of the "singular" for whom the singular cannot
be reduced to concepts, categories, distinctions, or the rule of
identity.
