Adjacent to Capitalist Realism of Mark Fisher, Biotic Realism is a form of analysis and knowledge making that places the bioloical real at the heart of thought and politics. ‘Biological determinism’ seems to me an invention of the humanities, a means to beat the veracity and complexity of biolgy and systesm view of life, and thus remain in poll position in discourse on politics.
Biological realism takes up where biopolitics (Foucault) left off.
