In the face of massive geopolitical crisis, posthumanists have called for us to reconsider fundamentally the superiority and centrality of mankind and \"the human,\" and question how Man can presume to change the world by revolutionary action, particularly when Marx’s dreams seem to have been swept into the dustbin of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis provocative book reaffirms what is most basic in feminism – the attack on the \"universality\" and sovereignty of Man – but contends that the only way this can mean anything other than pessimistic rhetoric is to embrace human agency and the struggle against colonialism and capitalism. In a series of \"creolized\" readings – Foucault with Ali Shari’ati, Lacan with Fanon, and Spinoza with Sylvia Wynter – the authors demonstrate what is at stake in the ongoing debate between humanism and posthumanism, putting this debate in the context of contemporary global crises and the possibilities of revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn its defense of \"political spirituality,\" this book pushes for a new trajectory in response to the gross inequalities of today, one that offers us a very different view of revolution and its present-day potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Spirit of Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e provides a thought-provoking perspective on these critical issues, challenging readers to rethink the role of human agency in shaping a more equitable and just world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464681406700,"sku":"9780745690759","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745690759-the-spirit-of-revolution.jpg?v=1775050784"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/stephen-d-seely.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
