Organism-Oriented Ontology
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-3995-1055-4 (ISBN)
Discussing different aspects of the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon, Raymond Ruyer, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and including some contemporary thinkers, such as Catherine Malabou, Bernard Stiegler, Bruno Latour, and Donna J. Haraway, Audronė Žukauskaitė argues that all these threads can be seen as precursors to organism-oriented ontology.
Rather than concentrating on individuals and identities, contemporary philosophy is increasingly interested in processes, multiplicities and potential for change, that is, in those features that define living beings. Žukauskaitė argues that the capacity of living beings for self-organisation, creativity and contingency can act as an antidote to biopolitical power and control in the times of the Anthropocene.
Audronė Žukauskaitė is Chief Researcher in the Department of Contemporary Philosophy at the Lithuanian Culture Research Institute. Her publications include From Biopolitics to Biophilosophy (2016, in Lithuanian) and Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s Philosophy: The Logic of Multiplicity (2011, in Lithuanian). She co-edited Life in the Posthuman Condition: Critical Responses to the Anthropocene (Edinburgh University Press, 2023), Interrogating Antigone in Postmodern Philosophy and Criticism, (Oxford University Press, 2010), Deleuze and Beckett, (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) and Resisting Biopolitics: Philosophical, Political and Performative Strategies, (Routledge, 2016).
