Reviews

Francois Laruelle's The Last Humanity is a unique, ambitious, and provocative adventure in ecological thinking. It offers one of the most original, realist, and dare I say deconstructive ecological encounters to date. * Rick Elmore, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Appalachian State University, USA *
Laruelle's non-philosophical ecology represents an uncompromising challenge to existing ecological thought and, in this brilliantly accomplished translation, makes a provocative and landmark contribution to contemporary eco-critical debate. Laruelle aims at nothing less than a total reconfiguration of the ethical relations between the human, the animal, and biological life more generally and he succeeds in ways that we have hitherto been unable to imagine. * Ian James, Reader in Modern French Literature and Thought, University of Cambridge, UK *
