Excellent- More about Making Sense in Common: A Reading of Whitehead in Times of Collapse
Isabelle Stengers, a renowned philosopher, aims to reclaim "common sense" as a forum for reconciling science and philosophy. By offering a comprehensive interpretation of Alfred North Whitehead's ideas, Stengers seeks to inspire scholars across various disciplines to think with conceptual precision. This book is particularly relevant in today's world, where climate disaster, the discrediting of civilization, and the attack on expertise demand a reconciliation of science and humanistic inquiry.

A renowned philosopher embarks on a quest to reclaim "common sense" as a harmonious convergence point for science and philosophy. Through her previous works on Alfred North Whitehead, Isabelle Stengers has established herself as one of the foremost philosophers of our era, while also igniting a reevaluation of critical theory, political thought, and radical philosophy across various disciplines. In this groundbreaking offering, Stengers presents what can be considered her definitive interpretation of Whitehead.
Making Sense in Common is poised to receive enthusiastic acclaim from the growing cohort of scholars who emulate Stengers' insights into Whitehead's thought as a guiding framework for achieving conceptual clarity across diverse fields of inquiry, including environmentalism and ecology, animal studies, media and technology studies, the history and philosophy of science, feminism, and capitalism. Moreover, the significance of this new book transcends Whitehead's realm. Instead, it lies in Stengers' revival of the concept of "common sense" as a shared space—a commons—where contrasting perspectives of science and humanistic inquiry can engage in fruitful dialogue and contribute to the advancement of society. The urgency of her reconciliation between science and philosophy is particularly pronounced in the present context, characterized by the looming threat of climate disaster, the discrediting of the values associated with civilization and modernity, and the assault on expertise of all kinds.
