“Martin Savransky's generative and intense book powerfully relays the living, burning demand at the heart of William James's pragmatism-that we learn to feel and think with a reality in the making of which we participate, whether we will it or not. Experimenting with this risky but transformative demand, Savransky reactivates a William James, calling contemporary thinkers to hold out a trusting hand to the manifold, adventurous commitments of today's activism.” - Isabelle Stengers, author of (In Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism) “With superior scholarship and clarity, Martin Savransky joins recent efforts to displace realist epistemologies and offer alternative analytical practices of the real. This succinct book moves conversations about the so-called ontological turn (and ontological openings) to a thought-ground that philosophically inclined scholars in all disciplines will find attractive to play in.” - Marisol de la Cadena, author of (Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds) "A succinct book, captivatingly structured, and thoughtfully written, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds is a generative contribution to the study and practice of pluriversal politics." - David McKeown (European Journal of Social Theory) "Overall, this book offers scholars across disciplines a reconceptualized approach to analyzing social worlds. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." - R. P. Lorenzo (Choice)
