Drawing inspiration from non-human critters such as coral polyps and an insistent bee, Posthumanist Vulnerability explores what it means to be vulnerable and agentic - transjective - beings, and how they may teach humans ethical lessons in unlearning human exceptionalism. This is a truly wonderful book, full of new, affirmative posthumanist insight. * Nina Lykke, Poet and Professor of Gender Studies, Linkoeping University, Sweden, and Aarhus University, Denmark * Daigle's Posthumanist Vulnerability is a timely philosophical monograph, highlighting the affirmative potential of multispecies vulnerability amidst unprecedented times of more-than-human crises. Bringing together traditions as diverse as feminist materialist philosophy, phenomenology, Deleuzoguattarian thought, and affect theory, Daigle dethrones the human subject and convincingly pleas for the radical embracing of a shared posthumanist vulnerability. * Evelien Geerts, Research Fellow, University of Birmingham, UK *
