New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity

by Manuel Delanda

New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Book News Annotation:

DeLanda (architecture, planning, and preservation Columbia U.) offers a realist social ontology, acknowledging right at the start that he must thereby assert the autonomy of social entities from the conceptions people have of them, even the very people without whose minds the entities would not exist. The theory of assemblages created by Gilles Deleuze in the waning decades of the 20th century provides an anchor. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
