By Brian Massumi

Massumi integrates notions marginalized via the dominant currents in evolutionary biology, animal habit, and philosophy—notions reminiscent of play, sympathy, and creativity—into the concept that of nature. As he does so, his inquiry unavoidably expands, encompassing not just animal habit but additionally animal concept and its distance from, or proximity to, these capacities over which human animals declare a monopoly: language and reflexive attention. For Massumi, people and animals exist on a continuum. realizing that continuum, whereas accounting for distinction, calls for a brand new common sense of "mutual inclusion." Massumi reveals the conceptual assets for this common sense within the paintings of thinkers together with Gregory Bateson, Henri Bergson, Gilbert Simondon, and Raymond Ruyer. This concise e-book intervenes in Deleuze stories, posthumanism, and animal stories, in addition to components of analysis as wide-ranging as impact conception, aesthetics, embodied cognition, political thought, method philosophy, the idea of play, and the concept of Alfred North Whitehead.
