Reviews
"Connolly certainly opens a path for those wishing to make such a positive contribution in political theory and philosophy. This complexly crafted reinvigoration of a Deleuzean approach to Nietzsche's closure of metaphysics is sure to inspire further engagement with the topics covered. The strength of this new approach by Connolly is his engagement with recent advances in neuroscience and mathematics, and his emphasis on positive outcomes. While not for the faint-hearted, those looking for inspiration may find it in this exciting new work." - Alexander C. Karolis, Critical Horizons, “ A World of Becoming continues William E. Connolly’s project of a ‘positive’ pluralism: one unafraid of the ‘messy fecundities’ of a complex world tense with unresolved tendencies yet effervescent with emergent potential. Against the politics of resentment so dominant today, he argues for an ethos of radical ‘interinvolvement’ affirmative of becoming, with all its promise and all its loose ends. To counter the otherworldly lure of final transcendent solutions in which the politics of resentment too often takes refuge, he proposes the meeting ground of a non-doctrinal faith that amplifies attachment to this world as a work-in-progress and collective adventure. Written in flowingly accessible prose that sacrifices nothing of the complexity it charts, and as passionate as it is conceptually precise, A World of Becoming is a political and philosophical statement of foremost importance for our times.�- Brian Massumi , author of Parables for the Virtual: Movement, Affect, Sensation, " A World of Becoming continues William E.

Synopsis
In A World of Becoming William E. Connolly outlines a political philosophy suited to a world whose powers of creative evolution include and exceed the human estate. This is a world composed of multiple interacting systems, including those of climate change, biological evolution, economic practices, and geological formations. Such open systems, set on different temporal registers of stability and instability, periodically resonate together to produce profound, unpredictable changes. To engage such a world reflectively is to feel pressure to alter established practices of politics, ethics, and spirituality. In pursuing such a course, Connolly draws inspiration from philosophers such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Alfred North Whitehead, and Gilles Deleuze, as well as the complexity theorist of biology Stuart Kauffman and the theologian Catherine Keller. Attunement to a world of becoming, Connolly argues, may help us address dangerous resonances between global finance capital, cross-regional religious resentments, neoconservative ideology, and the 24-hour mass media. Coming to terms with subliminal changes in the contemporary experience of time that challenge traditional images can help us grasp how these movements have arisen and perhaps even inspire creative counter-movements. The book closes with the chapter "The Theorist and the Seer," in which Connolly draws insights from early Greek ideas of the Seer and a Jerry Lewis film, The Nutty Professor , to inform the theory enterprise today., The prominent political theorist William E. Connolly outlines a political philosophy for the contemporary world: a world whose powers of creative evolution include and exceed the human estate.
