Drawing on thinkers ranging from John Dewey to Gilles Deleuze, she develops what she calls an \"ecology of practices\" into a capacious and heterogeneous perspective that is inclusive of cultural and political forces but not reducible to them. Stengers first advocates for an approach to sciences that would emphasize the way each should be situated by the kind of relationships demanded by what it attempts to address. This approach turns away from the disabling scientific\/nonscientific binary-like the opposition between the neutrino and the Virgin Mary. An ecology of practices instead stimulates an appetite for thinking reality not as an arbiter but as what we can relate to through the generation of diverging concerns and obligations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabelle Stengers is Emerita Professor of the Philosophy of Science at the Université libre de Bruxelles and is the author of numerous books, including \u003ci\u003eMaking Sense in Common: A Reading of Whitehead in Times of Collapse\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnother Science is Possible: A Manifesto for Slow Science\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIn Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Andrew Goffey is Associate Professor of Critical Theory and Cultural Studies at the University of Nottingham.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 03, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47406929182898,"sku":"9781478025207","price":45.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5560dc1566bafb61390bb83a871559e8.webp?v=1778208899","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/virgin-mary-and-the-neutrino-reality-in-trouble-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
