Paperback. Condizione: New. Examining the links between today's ideas of radical life extension and age-old notions of immortality   From Plato's notion of generation to Derrida's concept of survival to such modern phenomena as anti-aging treatments, cryogenics, cloning, and whole-brain uploads, Adam Rosenthal's Prosthetic Immortalities shows how the dream of indefinite life has always been a technological one: a matter of prosthesis. He argues that every biological instance of perpetual life, from one-celled organisms to rejuvenating jellyfish to Henrietta Lacks's "immortal" cancer cells, always results in the transformation of the original being. There can, therefore, be no certainty of immortality. Yet, because finite mortal life is already marked by difference, division, and change, as Rosenthal concludes: "the problem of immortality will not cease to haunt us."   Prosthetic Immortalities examines the persistence of humans' aspirations of deathlessness, showing that the link between immortalization and prostheticization is not unique to a single period but is, rather, a ubiquitous element of the discourse of immortality, encompassing both modern technoscientific efforts and religious discourses of an afterlife. Rosenthal asks to what extent the emergence of a virtual, posited, immortal presence follows from the tenets of empirical science-and not simply from the discourse of biology but also, and more radically still, from biological organization itself.   Rosenthal ultimately argues that the discovery of biological immortals-lifeforms that naturally have indefinitely long lifespans, such as cancer cells and bacteria-present novel conceptual difficulties for traditional philosophical approaches to mortality and selfhood, asking whether it is life itself that first births immortalizing prostheses. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Using a broad, comparative approach, this study shows how the figure of the gift structures poetic discourse and does so from the age of Homer up through twenty-first century conceptual poetics. Beginning from a new interpretation of Derridas writings on the gift, Adam R. Rosenthal argues that this ambivalent figure names at one and the same time poetrys most extreme aneconomic privilege and the point of its closest contact with the interested exchange of the market. In this way, the gift conducts material relays of patronage and theories of poetic origination, in genius, inspiration, and imagination. Poetics and the Gift capitalizes on this double function in order to read material historical accounts of poetry alongside philosophical and poetic ones.By way of his original reading of Derridas work in Given Time and Economimesis, Rosenthal offers a novel account of gift poetics and a new understanding of what makes poetry poetry. Diagnoses the Western poetic traditions determinative association of poetry with giving. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
