Sinopsis

Animals speak. Plants do too. Seas and mountains are not a mute background to human actions, but have interests and agency. Many more-than-human beings are political actors. Alláofáus are partáofáa webáofárelations in which we affect others and are affected byáthem. To counterátheácurrent ecological destruction and find more just ways to co-exist, humans need new waysáofádoing politics with other earth beings. In thisábook, Dutch philosopher Eva Meijer develops such a new political model:átheámultispecies assembly. Multispecies assemblies are a formáofádirect democracy in which some beings speak foráthemselves and others are represented. Living differently as humans is possible, but we must begin to listen to others, and learn fromáthem.
