Thinking creatively and responsibly about contemporary issues can sometimes become a very abstract activity. We can find ourselves talking in terms of theories and philosophies which bear very little resemblance to how life is actually lived and experienced. In Thinking in the World, Bennet and Zournazi collect together writings and interviews with some of the most influential thinkers in the world and ask them not just why we should engage with the world but also how we might do this.

Including wholly original, never-before-released material from thinkers such as Bruno Latour, Michel Serres, Alphonso Lingus, Michael Hardt and Luce Irigaray, this book showcases some of the most compelling arguments for how we might think concretely in and about the world we live in. Whether it's how to be environmentally responsible, engaging with how animals might think, how we might think when on the internet to enacting political beliefs to dealing with structural inequalities invoving race, class and gender, the need to engage meaningfully in a lived way is at the forefront.

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.

Industry Reviews

This volume is a remarkable collection of essays for its creative approach to the topic of thinking. The various essays effectively demonstrate the ways in which thinking does not merely take place in the brain but is embodied in our material and practical engagement with the world.
