Routledge Posthuman Legal Subjectivity - Law and Ecology Book

Explore a profound reimagining of how Western law and legal theory structures the relationship between humans and the Earth. Posthuman Legal Subjectivity: Reimagining the Human in the Anthropocene provides a necessary perspective on the human role within our changing world. While much current work focuses on granting rights to nature or non-human legal personhood, this book directs attention to the human subject itself. Through the lens of critical ecological feminism, the text examines how the dualistic nature of the ideal human legal subject drives the instrumentalism found in Western culture. By drawing on conceptual fields from the new sciences, including new materialism, this Routledge publication offers a deep look at the legal frameworks that shape our environment. It is an essential read for those studying the intersection of law, justice, and ecology in the Anthropocene era.
