New Series New Perspectives in Ontology Series Editor: Peter Gratton, University of Newfoundland, and Sean J. McGrath, Memorial University

The time is now for a renaissance in ontology, after the fundamental modesty of much post- Heideggerian Continental philosophy and the rise of the new realisms and new materialisms.

New Perspectives in Ontology is an interdisciplinary book series that challenges old divisions while borrowing from the ontological frameworks of post-humanism, ecological studies, critical animal studies and other post-constructivist areas of endeavour. Often working within the Continental tradition, books in this series move beyond the stale hermeneutics and phenomenologies of the past. www.euppublishing.com/series/epnpio
