Thought In The Act: Passages In The Ecology Of Experience

Combining philosophy and aesthetics, Thought in the Act is a unique exploration of creative practice as a form of thinking. Challenging the common opposition between the conceptual and the aesthetic, Erin Manning and Brian Massumi think through a wide range of creative practices, revealing how thinking and artfulness are intertwined. They examine the work of artists and architects, as well as autistic writers and experimental event makers, to show how philosophy co-composes with artistic processes. The book demonstrates a collaborative mode of thinking at the intersection of art, philosophy, and politics.
