  • The Companion Species Manifesto

    The Companion Species Manifesto
    Humans have often believed that we are centric to life and the universe. The Earth was believed to be the center of this universe, via Ptolemy. Haraway introduces a unique school of thought that humans are not centric to the world. We are just co-existing with other species, time, experiences, and relationships. Haraway references co-habitation, co-evolution, and cross-species sociality.
