Posthumanism is older than we think, and the so-called \"humanists\" of the late Enlightenment have much to offer our contemporary re-thinking of the human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Landgraf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501363026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501363023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.73d","brand":"Edgar Landgraf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983652094207,"sku":"9781501363023","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fb5c48f-bb49-407b-af32-a324c5ae509c.jpg?v=1683267927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/posthumanism-in-the-age-of-edgar-landgraf-9781501363023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
