Ethical Humans questions how philosophy and social theory can help
us to engage the everyday moral realities of living, working,
loving, learning and dying in new capitalism. It introduces
sociology as an art of living and as a formative tradition of
embodied radical eco post-humanism. Seeking to embody traditions of
philosophy and social theory in everyday ethics, this book
validates emotions and feelings as sources of knowledge and shows
how the denigration of women has gone hand in hand with the
denigration of nature. It queries post-structuralist traditions of
anti-humanism that, for all their insights into the fragmentation
of identities, often sustain a distinction between nature and
culture. The author argues that in a crisis of global warming, we
have to learn to listen to our bodies as part of nature and draws
on Wittgenstein to shape embodied forms of philosophy and social
theory that questions theologies that tacitly continue to shape
philosophical traditions. In acknowledging our own vulnerabilities,
we question the vision of the autonomous and independent rational
self that often remains within the terms of dominant white
masculinities. This book offers different modes of self-work,
drawing on psychoanalysis and embodied post-analytic
psychotherapies as part of a decolonising practice questioning
Eurocentric colonising modernity. In doing so it challenges, with
Simone Weil, Roman notions of power and greatness that have shaped
visions of white supremacy and European colonial power and empire.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
environmental ethics, environmental philosophy, social theory and
sociology, ethics and philosophy, cultural studies, future studies,
gender studies, post-colonial studies, Marxism, psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy and philosophy and sociology as arts of living.
