“We need the power of modern critical theories of how meanings and bodies get made, not in order to deny meanings and bodies, but in order to build meanings and bodies that have a chance for life” (Haraway - Situated Knowledges).

@oikeios But then what connects Latour and Haraway - the latter being a Marxist, at least that’s what her claim is. She endorses Latour as a companion thinker.
@limon_dulc_e @MuslimPhil And then neither Logic is limited to Aristotelian Logic nor Avicenna’s interpretation of Aristotle is a standard. And we mustn’t forget that Master believed that females are ‘deformed’ males and are ‘inferior’ to men.
@limon_dulc_e @MuslimPhil And then what are universals? Even in Aristotle we have three different versions of theory of Universals. Who defines universals and on what basis? No doubt relativism is a problematic position but it’s also a reductionist approach to see things in terms of either/or.
@BasicBooks@ashleyjwward Just read the review of the book. Seems a very good and relevant read considering the sort of climate crisis we are entering into. Another interesting theme of the book is to see technology beyond fictional hype - directed more towards masses and material conditions of life.
