Drawing on recent feminist theories of nonhuman life and politics, Miller shows that reproduction and flourishing are not antithetical to contemplation and sensitivity. After demonstrating processes of life and processes of thought are indistinguishable, Miller finds that four menacing accumulations of matter and information--global surveillance, stored embryos, human clones, and reproductive trash--are politically productive rather than threats to democratic politics. As a consequence, she questions the usefulness of individual rights such as privacy and dignity, contests the value of the rational metaphysics underlying human-centered political participation, and re-evaluates the gender relations that derive from this type of participation. Ultimately, in place of these human-centered structures, Miller posits a more meditative mode of democratic engagement. Miller's argument has shattering implications for the debates over the proper use and disposal of embryonic tissue, alarms about data gathering by the state and corporations, and other major ethical, social, and security issues"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aDemocracy$xPhilosophy 606 $aDemocracy$xSocial aspects 606 $aDemocracy$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aFeminist theory 615 0$aDemocracy$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDemocracy$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 676 $a321.8 686 $aPOL010000$aSOC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aMiller$b Ruth Austin$f1975-$01107039 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524699203321 996 $aFlourishing Thought$92777522 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00868nam a2200217 i 4500 001 991001789729707536 008 120724r19371999it 000 0 ita d 035 $ab14070972-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Filologia Class. e Scienze Filosofiche$bita 100 1 $aUgolini, Luigi Maria$0465596 245 10$aButrinto :$bil mito d'Enea : gli scavi /$cdi Luigi M.
