A New Philosophy of Society
Offers a look at how the contemporary world is characterized by an extraordinary social complexity. This book takes the reader on a journey that starts with personal relations and climbs up one scale at a time to territorial states and beyond.
A new and highly original interrogation of social philosophy from one of the world's leading theorists
Manuel DeLanda is a distinguished writer, artist, and philosopher. In his new book, A New Philosophy of Society, he offers a fascinating look at how the contemporary world is characterised by an extraordinary social complexity.
Since most social entities, from small communities to large nation-states, would disappear altogether if human minds ceased to exist, DeLanda proposes a novel approach to social ontology that asserts the autonomy of social entities from the conceptions we have of them.
