The New Politics of Materialism : History, Philosophy, Science by Sarah Ellenzweig and John H. Zammito
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.3 MB
Overview: New materialism challenges the mechanistic models characteristic of early modern philosophy that regarded matter as largely passive and inert. Instead it gives weight to topics often overlooked in such accounts: agency, vitalism, complexity, contingency, and self-organization.
This collection, which includes an international roster of contributors from philosophy, history, literature, and science, is the first to ask what is ‘new’ about the new materialism and place it in interdisciplinary perspective. Against current theories of new materialism it argues for a deeper engagement with materialism’s history, questions whether matter can be ‘lively,’ and asks whether new materialism’s wish to revitalize politics and the political lives up to its promise.
