HERMAN MELVILLE AND TH E PO LITIC S
OF T H E I N H U M A N
Studies o f the writing o f Herman Melville are often divided among
those that address his political, historical, or biographical dimen
sions and those that offer creative theoretical readings o f his texts.
In Herman Melville and the Politics o f the Inhuman , Michael Jonik
offers a series o f nuanced and ambitious philosophical readings o f
Melville that unite these varied approaches. Through a careful recon
struction o f Melville’s interaction with philosophy, Jonik argues that
Melville develops a notion o f the “inhuman” after Spinoza’s radically
non-anthropocentric and relational thought. Melville’s own polit
ical philosophy, in turn, actively disassembles differences between
humans and nonhumans, and the animate and inanimate. Jonik has
us rethink not only how we read Melville, but also how we under
stand our deeply inhuman condition.
