Abstract
The challenges arising with our new geological epoch-the Anthropocene-call on us to think beyond the human and to consider our species in relation to others. Val Plumwood (2007, 1) has made clear what is at stake here: “If our species does not survive the ecological crisis, it will probably be due to our failure … to work out new ways to live with the earth, to rework ourselves … We will go onwards in a different mode of humanity, or not at all. In response to Plumwood's statement, in this article I rethink Marx's concept of species-being in order to open up a space in which to explore different modes of humanity for the Anthropocene.
