Engaging with contemporary issues responsibly and creatively can become a very abstract activity. We can sometimes find ourselves talking in terms of theories and philosophies which bear very little resemblance to how life is actually lived and experienced. InThinking in the World,Jill Bennett and Mary Zournazi curate writings and conversations with some of the most influential thinkers in the world and ask them not justwhywe should engage with the world ,but alsohowwe might do this. Rather than simply thinkingaboutthe world, the authors examine the ways in which we thinkinandwiththe world. Whether it's how to be environmentally responsible, how to think in film, or how to dance with a non-human, the need to engage meaningfully in alivedway is at the forefront of this collection.Thinking in the Worldshowcases some of the most compelling arguments for a philosophy in action. Including wholly original, never-before-released material from Michel Serres, Alphonso Lingis, and Mieke Bal, the different chapters in this book constitute dialogues and approachable essays, as well as impassioned arguments for a particular way of approaching thinking in the world.
