" Nietzsche's Posthumanism is a timely, lucid, and incisive commentary on the problematic centrality of Nietzsche's thought for our time. It shows the continued potential that Nietzsche's writings have for navigating a way through the dangers and excesses of contemporary posthumanist politics. In doing so, Edgar Landgraf's critical posthumanist stance produces fresh readings of both Nietzsche and posthumanist philosophies."--Stefan Herbrechter, University of Heidelberg "Edgar Landgraf's Nietzsche's Posthumanism is a fantastic book. Through the lens of Nietzsche's philosophy, Landgraf offers a fresh perspective on contemporary debates on posthumanism and its many variants, engaging with key thinkers in science and technology studies, new materialism, and biopolitics, including Foucault, Maturana and Varela, Deleuze and Guattari, Haraway, Braidotti and Esposito. Landgraf draws on thorough research and engagement with Nietzsche's texts, shedding new light on aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy that are perhaps less known, such as his writing on insects. Nietzsche's Posthumanism asks what we can learn from swarms and hives about human ethics and politics. I highly recommend it!"--Vanessa Lemm, author of Homo Natura and Nietzsche's Animal Philosophy " Nietzsche's Posthumanism presents a uniquely framed introduction to tenets of Nietzsche's thought and major trends in posthumanism, making it an essential exploration for anyone invested in Nietzsche and his contemporary relevance, and in posthumanism and its genealogy.


"-- Progressive Geographies " Nietzsche's Posthumanism is a marvelous book that repays careful study. It is historically richer and philologically more reliable than comparable English-language publications."-- The German Quarterly.
