While many posthumanists acknowledge Nietzsche as one of their own, they rarely delve into his philosophy in depth. Nietzsches Posthumanism fills this gap by examining the continuities and disagreements between Nietzsche's philosophy and contemporary posthumanism. Specifically, Edgar Landgraf focuses on Nietzsche's reception of the life sciences of his time, as well as his reflections on technology, which are crucial to both Nietzsche's work and posthumanism. Through his inquiry, Landgraf uncovers lesser-known aspects of Nietzsche's writings, such as the neurophysiological basis of his epistemology, his concerns with insects and the emergent social properties they exhibit, and his reflections on the hominization and cultivation effects of technology. In doing so, Landgraf challenges prevailing notions about Nietzsche's philosophy, including the idea that his social theory prioritizes the rights of "the strong" over "the weak." The ethos of critical posthumanism also provides a fresh perspective on key ethical and political issues raised in Nietzsche's writings.
Nietzsches Posthumanism offers a unique introduction to the core tenets of Nietzsche's thought and significant trends in posthumanism, making it an essential exploration for anyone interested in Nietzsche and his contemporary relevance, as well as in posthumanism and its genealogy.
