Reviews
“Tackling the conceptual and ethical implications of posthumanism for thinking about health and wellbeing, Mcphie’s absorbing new book leads the reader through continental philosophy, neuroscience, environmental studies, post-qualitative methodology and creative practice to assemble a novel ecology of mental health. The implications of this ecology for thinking about health in the Anthropocene are profound indeed, breaking with all dualisms to deliver a powerful new ethics of care for an age of perpetual crisis.” (Cameron Duff, RMIT University, Australia)
