- Summary:
- Contemporary theory has pushed the boundaries of the concept of the living, urging us to consider a vitality that manifests beyond the human, animal or even the organic altogether. Lindner explores this passive vitalism by drawing together thinkers such as Deleuze, Cioran, Laruelle, Kant and Derrida. Suspicious of the moralistic and enthusiastic tendency of new materialisms, this vitalism would be inherently critical-even of its own commitments to liveliness-and thus gestures to a new politics and ethics of life.
- Die zeitgenoÌssische Theorie hat die Grenzen des Konzepts des Lebendigen erweitert und draÌngt uns dazu, eine VitalitaÌt in Betracht zu ziehen, die sich jenseits des Menschlichen, des Tierischen oder sogar des Organischen insgesamt manifestiert. Lindner erforscht diesen passiven Vitalismus, indem er Denker wie Deleuze, Cioran, Laruelle, Kant und Derrida zusammenfuÌhrt. Dieser Vitalismus, der der moralistischen und enthusiastischen Tendenz der neuen Materialismen misstraut, waÌre von Natur aus kritisch - sogar gegenuÌber seinen eigenen Verpflichtungen gegenuÌber der Lebendigkeit - und deutet somit auf eine neue Politik und Ethik des Lebens hin.
