Studies of the writing of Herman Melville are often divided among
those that address his political, historical, or biographical
dimensions and those that offer creative theoretical readings of
his texts. In Herman Melville and the Politics of the Inhuman,
Michael Jonik offers a series of nuanced and ambitious
philosophical readings of Melville that unite these varied
approaches. Through a careful reconstruction of Melville's
interaction with philosophy, Jonik argues that Melville develops a
notion of the 'inhuman' after Spinoza's radically
non-anthropocentric and relational thought. Melville's own
political philosophy, in turn, actively disassembles differences
between humans and nonhumans, and the animate and inanimate. Jonik
has us rethink not only how we read Melville, but also how we
understand our deeply inhuman condition.
