Description
The Practice Turn in Contemporary Theory by Theodore R. Schatzki; Karin Knorr-Cetina; Eike von Savigny This collection of essays explores three key themes: the establishment of social order, the psychological basis of human activity, and contemporary challenges to traditional notions of humanity. The authors examine influential thinkers such as Wittgenstein and Heidegger, whose ideas have shaped the development of practice theory. Practice theory offers a new perspective on how practices shape our lives and interact with various disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, science studies, cultural theory, history, and anthropology. By examining these connections, the essays provide insight into the role of practices in contemporary thought. For those interested in understanding the significance of practices in everyday life and their relationships with other fields of study, this book provides a valuable contribution to ongoing debates in philosophy and beyond.
