In this second volume, \u003ci\u003eA Weak Nature Alone\u003c\/i\u003e, Johnston focuses on the philosophy of nature required for such a theory. This volume is guided by a fundamental question: How must nature be rethought so that human minds and freedom do not appear to be either impossible or inexplicable within it? Asked differently: How must the natural world itself be structured such that sapient subjects in all their distinctive peculiarities emerged from and continue to exist within this world? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eA Weak Nature Alone\u003c\/i\u003e, Johnston develops his transcendental materialist account of nature through engaging with and weaving together five main sources of inspiration: Hegelian philosophy, Marxist materialism, Freudian-Lacanian metapsychology, Anglo-American analytic neo-Hegelianism, and evolutionary theory and neurobiology. Johnston argues that these seemingly (but not really) strange bedfellows should be brought together so as to construct a contemporary ontology of nature. Through this ontology, nonnatural human subjects can be seen to arise in an immanent, bottom-up fashion from nature itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810140624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810140622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Adrian Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996145058047,"sku":"9780810140622","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ef5fd6c-5626-4aa1-aed5-405ba0eb9533.jpg?v=1683339981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prolegomena-to-any-future-materialism-adrian-johnston-9780810140622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
