Based in process philosophy, the post-human ontology is offered as an  alternative philosophical grounding for post-humanism for an ethics and  politics of ecological flourishing rather than exploitation of nature.  Sean Watson critiques the existing nihilist ontological approaches to  the post-human, which he argues are complicit with neoliberal, digital  capitalism and its ideological justifications. In doing so, he conceives  of an ontology of generative ethics and politics, capable of addressing  the overwhelming accumulation of crises that Bernard Stiegler  identified as the destruction of the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSean Watson\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Head of the Department of Health and Social Science at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK.
