Fusing literature, philosophy, and theology, it offers readers new contexts - and questions - for the egalitarian ontological commitments of contemporary post- and nonhuman thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Madeleine Chalmers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Crosscurrents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399539814","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293819404425,"sku":"9781399539814","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9b87db0b-6761-402f-b514-de2d468c07e2.jpg?v=1737443699","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/french-technological-thought-and-the-nonhuman-turn-9781399539814","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
