Review Quotes:
"This book inspires a critical reflection on the breadth of the posthumanist movement and raises questions on how we can tackle real problems of human attitude towards other (human and non-human) beings and the rest of creation." --Science & Christian Belief
"This book offers an essential overview of how posthuman perspectives are intervening in the sciences, in the arts, and in education. Daigle and Hayler brought together a beautiful collection of texts, that are urgent, lucidly written and accessible to everyone interested in exploring the consequences of this inclusive and diverse movement. It should be included in every course that aims to map how study the contemporary." --Rick Dolphijn, Associate Professor, Utrecht University, the Netherlands "This transdisciplinary collection testifies to the rigour and ethical import of posthumanism. Traversing the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, Posthumanism in Practice is essential reading for all of us seeking methods, concepts, and creative new ways to bridge disciplines and to resist human exceptionalism in its many forms." --Ada S. Jaarsma, Professor of Philosophy, Mount Royal University, Canada
