Disclosing new worlds : entrepreneurship, democratic action, and the cultivation of solidarity

Author:	Charles Spinosa; Fernando Flores; Hubert L Dreyfus
Publisher:	Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, ©1997.

Summary:	Disclosing New Worlds calls for a recovery of a way of being that has always characterized human life at its best. The book argues that human beings are at their best not when they are engaged in abstract reflection, but when they are intensely involved in changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in some domain of their culture - that is, when they are making history. History-making, in this account, refers not to wars and transfers of political power but to changes in the way we understand and deal with ourselves. The authors identify entrepreneurship, democratic action, and the cultivation of solidarity as the three major arenas in which people make history, and they focus on three prime methods of history-making - reconfiguration, cross-appropriation, and articulation. According to the authors, there are two major perils to history-making in Western society. One is the Cartesian tradition, which celebrates stepping back from everyday life to understand the world on the basis of rational deliberation. Against this, the authors advocate an intense involvement in the anomalies of everyday life as a means to understand the world and the changes it needs. The second is the neo-Nietzschean tendency to embrace radical, individual change for its own sake. Now that anyone can log on to the Internet to try on a new personality, the authors argue, it becomes increasingly urgent that we retrieve our history-making skills, both in our everyday lives and in our public roles.  Read more...
