What Animals Teach Us about Politics
在“什麼動物教我們關於政治”中，布萊恩·馬蘇米接受了“動物”的問題。通過將人類視為動物，他發展了一種動物政治概念。他不是動物的人類政治，而是整體的動物政治，擺脫了對“原始”自然狀態的內涵以及對本能滲透現代思想的伴隨預設。 Massumi將進化生物學，動物行為和哲學概念（如游戲，同情和創造力）中的主導潮流邊緣化的概念整合到自然概念中。當他這樣做時，他的探究必然會擴大，不僅包括動物行為，還包括動物思想及其與人類動物聲稱壟斷的能力的距離或接近程度：語言和反身意識。對於Massumi來說，人類和動物存在於連續體中。理解連續統一體，同時考慮差異，需要一種新的“相互包容”邏輯。 Massumi在思想家的工作中找到了這種邏輯的概念資源，包括Gregory Bateson，Henri Bergson，Gilbert Simondon和Raymond Ruyer。這本簡明的書介紹了德勒茲研究，後人類學和動物研究，以及影響理論、美學、具體認知、政治理論，過程哲學，遊戲理論和阿爾弗雷德北思想等廣泛研究領域。
In What Animals Teach Us about Politics, Brian Massumi takes up the question of "the animal." By treating the human as animal, he develops a concept of an animal politics. His is not a human politics of the animal, but an integrally animal politics, freed from connotations of the "primitive" state of nature and the accompanying presuppositions about instinct permeating modern thought. Massumi integrates notions marginalized by the dominant currents in evolutionary biology, animal behavior, and philosophy—notions such as play, sympathy, and creativity—into the concept of nature. As he does so, his inquiry necessarily expands, encompassing not only animal behavior but also animal thought and its distance from, or proximity to, those capacities over which human animals claim a monopoly: language and reflexive consciousness. For Massumi, humans and animals exist on a continuum. Understanding that continuum, while accounting for difference, requires a new logic of "mutual inclusion." Massumi finds the conceptual resources for this logic in the work of thinkers including Gregory Bateson, Henri Bergson, Gilbert Simondon, and Raymond Ruyer. This concise book intervenes in Deleuze studies, posthumanism, and animal studies, as well as areas of study as wide-ranging as affect theory, aesthetics, embodied cognition, political theory, process philosophy, the theory of play, and the thought of Alfred North Whitehead.
