Overview: First book to argue that posthuman existence also implies new vulnerabilities.Integrates Risk Theory with Philosophical Anthropology.Offers an original ethical and political analysis of vulnerability .Whereas standard approaches to risk and vulnerability presuppose a strict separation between humans and their world, this book develops an existential-phenomenological approach according to which we are always already beings-at-risk. Moreover, it is argued that in our struggle against vulnerability, we create new vulnerabilities and thereby transform ourselves as much as we transform th
