It is a great honor to announce the endorsements of the book:
"In this stunning book Francesca Ferrando paints a clear and inspirational picture of the future of humankind. Her book is both thorough and exciting. It is a delight to see that she does not simply toe the line and follow 'official' thinking but quite rightly the philosophy of Nietzsche and Lamarck gets an airing. If you want to know what Posthumanism is all about and peek into our future world, then dive into the book and wallow in its pages."
Kevin Warwick, Emeritus Professor at Coventry and Reading Universities, UK
“Francesca Ferrando’s book will be of great value to those who wish to understand the range of non-anthropocentric approaches to philosophy and politics. This is an account of the theoretical foundations and practice of posthumanism that is impressively scholarly, ethically engaged and engaging.”
David Roden, Associate Lecturer in Philosophy, The Open University, UK
“The emergence of posthuman thinking is a paradigm shifting event. Categorical dualities get twisted. Francesca Ferrando is at the forefront of thinking philosophically about the great variety of correlated developments.”
Stefan Lorenz Sorgner, Associate Professor of Philosophy, John Cabot University Rome, Italy
