Produktbeschreibung

The Practice Turn in Contemporary Theory is the first book to provide an exciting and diverse philosophical exploration of the role of practice and practices in human activity. It also show how practice theory stands in opposition to numerous prevalent ways of thinking, such as structuralism, system theory, semiotics, and many strains of humanism. Among the motivations of practice theory study is its approach to science and technology as an activity opposed to representation and this attempt to rethink humanist dichotomies between human and non-human entities.
