Organism and Environment performs an examination into the way the
contemporary life sciences are heralding a revolution of the most
basic philosophical concepts of the Western world. Analyzing recent
research in microbiology and evolution theory, the present book
argues that these discourses are adding their voices to a growing
chorus which is announcing a disruption, if not an end, to the
understanding of the order of the world articulated in humanism.
What does it mean to be a living substance? Are there such things
as living individuals? How are living beings free? The discourses
of microbiology, the medical sciences and evolution theory are
revealing a living organism that escapes the limited frame that
Enlightenment humanism has traditionally used to answer these (and
other) ontological questions. Appealing to the theoretical lenses
provided by Michel Foucault, Hans Georg Gadamer and Gilles Deleuze,
Organism and Environment offers an interpretation of the way the
contemporary life sciences are giving articulation to a posthuman
ontological order.
