Reviews
"Martin Savransky's generative and intense book powerfully relays the living, burning demand at the heart of William James's pragmatism-that we learn to feel and think with a reality in the making of which we participate, whether we will it or not. Experimenting with this risky but transformative demand, Savransky reactivates a William James, calling contemporary thinkers to hold out a trusting hand to the manifold, adventurous commitments of today's activism." -- Isabelle Stengers, author of * In Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism *
"With superior scholarship and clarity, Martin Savransky joins recent efforts to displace realist epistemologies and offer alternative analytical practices of the real. This succinct book moves conversations about the so-called ontological turn (and ontological openings) to a thought-ground that philosophically inclined scholars in all disciplines will find attractive to play in." -- Marisol de la Cadena, author of * Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds *
"A succinct book, captivatingly structured, and thoughtfully written, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds is a generative contribution to the study and practice of pluriversal politics." -- David McKeown * European Journal of Social Theory *
"Overall, this book offers scholars across disciplines a reconceptualized approach to analyzing social worlds. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." -- R. P. Lorenzo * Choice *
