| 520 | |a "Through a careful reconstruction of Melville's interaction with philosophy, Jonik argues that Melville develops a notion of the "inhuman" after Spinoza's radically nonanthropocentricnon-anthropocentric and relational thought.

Jonik has us rethink not only how we read Melville, but also how we understand our deeply inhuman condition."-- | ||
