Abstract
Rereading Derrida, both Donna Haraway and Karen Barad are in search for an ethics that is not based
on critique but that offers an affirmative alternative to the dualist construction of naturalism today.
Whereas Haraway practices this ethics mainly by reading contemporary biology into the humanities,
Barad proposes us to take a closer look at natural sciences as a whole (with an emphasis on (quantum)
physics). Her quantum mechanics is a critical naturalism is a posthuman feminism. Her deconstructive
ethics immanently practices a critical naturalism that is a welcome and responsible alternative to the
dualist theories of nature that dominate the discussion today.
