Being and Not Being: End Times of Posthumanism and the Future Undoing of Philosophy - Hardcover

by Richard Iveson (Author)

In an era of short-termism that has produced disastrous long-term consequences for the planet, this book returns the concept of time to a philosophical reflection on pressing concerns facing us today. The book proposes a critique of scientific determinism that demands an urgent rethinking of causality and proposes a new ethical paradigm.
