Peter Canning, former associate professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota and the University of California (Berkeley), is one of the key figures in the burgeoning field of philosophical cosmology. Perhaps best known for what Shoshana Felman called his "remarkable analysis" of the Holocaust, Canning has published widely on Nietzsche, Klossowski, Lacan, Foucault, Spinoza, and Deleuze. Leaving academia in 1997, he has devoted himself to writing an "aesthetics of cosmology" in which the science of self-organization becomes the basis not only for theorizing the nature of art but also for formulating a new theory of ethics.
