Description

A World of Many Worlds by Marisol de la Cadena and Mario Blaser explores the possibilities that emerge from conversations between indigenous collectives and the study of science's philosophical production. By examining divergent knowledges and practices, the contributors uncover how different worlds are created. The authors use concepts such as difference and sameness, recursion, divergence, political ontology, cosmopolitics, and relations to understand how diverse political practices can coexist in a pluriverse - a cosmos composed of distinct political practices that do not need to become uniform. This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of indigenous knowledge systems and scientific thought. Through its exploration of these concepts and methods, A World of Many Worlds opens up possibilities for understanding a world composed of diverse political practices.
