By Arminius Schade

Comparative Metaphysics: Ontology After Anthropology, Reinventing Critical Theory is a groundbreaking work that challenges the foundations of critical theory and offers a new way of understanding the relationship between ontology and anthropology. The book's author, Arminius Schade, argues that the traditional distinction between the two disciplines is artificial and that a more fruitful approach is to see them as two sides of the same coin.

Schade develops a new theory of comparative metaphysics that draws on insights from both disciplines and shows how this new approach can be used to shed light on a wide range of issues, from the nature of subjectivity to the problem of evil. In ng so, he offers a new way of thinking about the relationship between the human and the non-human, the natural and the social, and the individual and the collective.

Comparative Metaphysics is a major contribution to the fields of critical theory and anthropology, and it is sure to be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, political science, and cultural studies.
