We can sometimes find ourselves talking in terms of theories and philosophies which bear very little resemblance to how life is actually lived and experienced. In \u003ci\u003eThinking in the World, \u003c\/i\u003eJill Bennett and Mary Zournazi curate writings and conversations with some of the most influential thinkers in the world and ask them not just \u003ci\u003ewhy \u003c\/i\u003ewe should engage with the world, but also \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e we might do this. Rather than simply thinking \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e the world, the authors examine the ways in which we think\u003ci\u003e in \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e with\u003c\/i\u003e the world. Whether it's how to be environmentally responsible, how to think in film, or how to dance with a non-human, the need to engage meaningfully in a \u003ci\u003elived\u003c\/i\u003e way is at the forefront of this collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThinking in the World\u003c\/i\u003e showcases some of the most compelling arguments for a philosophy in action. Including wholly original, never-before-released material from Michel Serres, Alphonso Lingis, and Mieke Bal, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJill Bennett \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Visual Culture and Director of the National Institute for Experimental Arts, University of New South Wales, Australia.
