The article presents the approach to the culture-nature “opposition” in Elizabeth Grosz’s philosophy. Drawing on Darwin’s concept, Grosz tries not so much to “go around” the opposition but to problematise the concept of nature itself, which in philosophy has all too often been subordinated to culture and which has to be “crossed” to achieve the full dimension of humanity. Referring to evolutionism (while clearly distancing herself from sociobiology), she depicts nature as an environment where culture can exist, as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for culture. Consequently, Grosz perceives the human being in the perspective of evolutionary changes which foretell our future as isolated from the traditionally defined humanity, but drawing abundantly on our animal nature. Nature thus seen poses endless questions, whereas culture (for example patriarchal culture) is just one of possible answers. Grosz’s philosophy aims to open the way to new forms of approaching the opposition between culture and nature, human and animal, man and woman.

The article9 presents the philosophy of Elizabeth Grosz, its theoretical background and methods. It concentrates mainly on the category of the body which is present in her thought from the very beginning. The author pays particular attention to the problem of materiality of the body raised in The Nick of Time and Time Travels: why is the body docile? What makes it so vulnerable? What precedes social inscriptions? Those questions underline the problem of the biological aspect of the body as a part of nature which comes together with Grosz's interpretation of Darwin. The theory of evolution shows the temporality of human being and its culture and introduces future possibilities of overcoming the humankind and creating new ways of knowing, new sexes, new forms of living etc. The author suggests that this understanding of the body takes us beyond the human being and beyond subjectivity, it faces us with the process of becoming different which is perceived as emancipating. The author also suggests that Grosz's idea of the politics of imperceptibility is close to Foucault's recognition of the value of women's movement which, in his opinion, lies not in identity struggles but above all in struggles concentrating on broader cultural, social etc. changes. Both Foucault and Grosz aim at potential practices that involve giving up the question of our identities.

In the article the category of the bodily encounter with the animal is presented. This concept is inspired by the Irigarayan notion of “bodily encounter with the mother” and it is developed using an example of the relation between a girl and a dog — two beings so far often excluded from the philosophical inquiries. The author constructs the category of bodily encounter with the animal referring to ideas coined by Luce Irigaray, Rosi Braidotti and Jolanta Brach-Czaina and places the very concept in a broader philosophical context. With reference to the category of bodily encounter with the animal, the author reflects on what is exceptional in the encounter between a girl and a dog, and investigates into the subversive potential of such an encounter and challenges it may pose to the given power relations.

In the article the author reflects on the meaning of politics in a new- materialist framework. She concentrates predominantly on two political di- mentions – space and time. With reference to that, the author develops the concept of politics of squatting. Its spatial aspect is investigated along the lines of the notion of heterotopia, coined by Michel Foucault, and its temporal as- pect is analyzed through the concept of heterochrony (Foucault) and Darwini- an evolution as interpreted by Elizabeth Grosz. The concept of politics of squatting is then juxtaposed with nomadism (vide Rosi Braidotti). Finally, the author provides a case study by elaborating on the anti-gender campaign that began in 2012-2013 in Poland from the perspective of politics of squatting.

Stemming from the natural sciences, the concept of Anthropocene opened a variety of discussions in the humanities, provoking “us” to think otherwise. One of the challenges of the Anthropocene is the question of scale. Some question the obviousness of scale as the categories such as micro and macro, local and global/planetary no longer correspond with reality. The geologic time and time of a zoe coincide in many unobvious and unfelt ways. Cross-scale thinking and language is a way to think with the Anthropocene to grasp its planetary and global nature as well as the diverse situated and embodied human-non-human life forms.

Antropocen przekroczył dyscyplinarne granice nauk przyrodniczych, rozbudzając debaty w ramach szeroko pojętej humanistyki, zmuszając „nas” do myślenia inaczej niż dotąd. Jednym z wyzwań antropocenu jest kwestia skali. Wraz z antropocenem oczywistość skalowych podziałów ulega zachwianiu. Podział na skale lokalne‑globalne/planetarne i makro‑mikro to kategorie myślenia, które nie odpowiadają rzeczywistości. Międzyskalowe myślenie i język to propozycje mówienia wraz‑z antropocenem, by uchwycić jego planetarną i globalną naturę, nie tracąc z oczu usytuowanych, ucieleśnionych ludzko‑nie‑ludzkich form życia.

Nonanthropocentric approaches are one of the predominant features of contemporary feminist philosophy, especially in critical posthumanities (e.g. Rosi Braidotti) and feminist new materialisms (e.g. Diana Coole). The author aims at outlining the axiological grounds of the turn to nonanthropocentrism. It is done in two steps. First, the author points to recent debates around the impossibility to separate values from facts in the mentioned contemporary trends (illustrated with reference to Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway and Karen Barad). Second, the author presents how the subject of knowledge changes together with the need to uncover the entanglement of values and facts (using the example of Haraway). The author presents responsibility (as response-ability), interdependence and care as an axiological foundation of nonanthropocentrism. The posthumanistic and nonanthropocentric critique of humanism is here presented as motivated by ethics above all other aspects.

Próby nieantropocentrycznego myślenia charakteryzują wiele współczesnych myślowych trendów, na pierwszy plan wysuwają się też we współczesnej filozofii feministycznej. Na przykład w takich nurtach jak krytyczny posthumanizm (vide Rosi Braidotti) czy feministyczne nowe materializmy (vide Diana Coole). Na tym teoretycznym tle autorka kreśli aksjologiczne podstawy zwrotu ku nieantropocentryzmowi. Czyni to w dwóch krokach. Po pierwsze, wskazuje na ostatnie debaty o niemożności oddzielenia wartości od faktów (odwołując się do takich myślicieli i filozofek jak Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway czy Karen Barad). Po drugie, powołując się na koncepcję wiedz usytuowanych Haraway, autorka pokazuje, w jaki sposób podmiot wiedzy zmienia się wraz-z koniecznością uchwycenia splątania faktów i wartości. Autorka wyróżnia trzy wartości będące podstawą nieantropocentryzmu w krytycznym posthumanizmie i feministycznych nowych materializmach. Są to: odpowiedzialność jako możliwość odpowiedzi, współzależność i troska. Posthumanistyczna i nieantropocentryczna krytyka humanizmu jest tu zaprezentowana jako ugruntowana przede wszystkim w etyce.
