Valley of the Dunes by Audrey Delella Benedict

Valley of the Dunes by Audrey Delella Benedict

This book brings together a diverse and wide-ranging group of thinkers to forge unsuspecting conversations across the humanist and non-humanist divide. How should humanism relate to a non-humanist world? What distinguishes humanism from the non-humanist? Readers will encounter a wide-range of perspectives on the terms bringing together this volume, where Humanism Non-Humanist and World are not taken for granted, but instead, tackled from a wide variety of perspectives, spaces, discourses, and approaches. This volume offers both a pragmatic and scholarly account of these terms and worldviews allowing for multiple points of analytical and practical points of entry into the unfolding dialogue between humanism and the non-humanist world. In this way, this volume is attentive to both theoretically and historically grounded inquiry and applied practical application.
