Frankenstein might seem to be the anti-Promethean manifesto for our time, warning us against playing God, asking us to be more mindful of the moral presence of nature. There is, however, a hyper-Promethean way in which we might read Shelley’s Frankenstein. Rather, than take on Victor Frankenstein’s moral anguish that he was guilty of over-reaching, perhaps we should look at the world from the point of view of the orphaned creature, whose only thought of life is not survival, procreation, and longevity: not living on, but living with nature. 5:00 Claire Colebrook takes the stage 8:00 What it means to be human in terms of these topics 13:00 Stories and how they create 16:12 The two ways of thinking about Frankenstein 20:35 Quotation from the novel 31:00 Concluding arguments 41:10 Humanizing aspects of Frankenstein 47:00 Q&A session begins
