Alfred N. Whiteheads daring protest against the bifurcation of nature called for the liberation of aesthetics from human exceptionality. More-Than-Human Aesthetics turns this protest into a compelling multifaceted exploration. How would our practices be transformed if we recognized that none of them can be divorced from an aesthetic experience which humans share with all other inhabitants of the earth? Isabelle Stengers, Université Libre de Bruxelles
