Excellent- More about Posthuman Legal Subjectivity: Reimagining the Human in the Anthropocene
Critical ecological feminism challenges the Western cultural understanding of the human-earth relationship, exposing the dualistic nature of the ideal human legal subject as a driver of instrumentalism. It proposes a 'Cosmic Person' as an alternative, non-dualized human legal subject to transform the relationship from mastery and control to ideal co-habitation.

This book offers a groundbreaking reimagining of how Western law and legal theory shape the complex relationship between humans and the Earth. In addition to the ongoing efforts to establish rights of nature and non-human legal personhood, it delves into the overlooked aspect of the human-Earth relationship: the human. Through the lens of critical ecological feminism, the book exposes the dualistic nature of the ideal human legal subject as a driving force behind the instrumentalism that characterizes the human-Earth relationship in Western culture. By drawing on conceptual fields such as new materialism, posthuman critical theory, and Big History, the book challenges the naturalized hierarchy of humans over nature in the Western social imaginary. It proposes an alternative, non-dualized human legal subject called the 'Cosmic Person' as a means to transform the Western cultural understanding of the human-Earth relationship from dominance and control to harmonious co-habitation.
Furthermore, the book provides a detailed case study highlighting the practical application of the proposed reconceptualization of the human legal subject to contemporary environmental issues. This comprehensive analysis, which will appeal to scholars and practitioners in legal theory, jurisprudence, environmental law, and the environmental humanities, as well as those with interests in gender studies, cultural studies, feminist theory, critical theory, and philosophy, offers a fresh perspective on the legal status of the human in the Anthropocene era.
