In Virgin Mary and the Neutrino, first published in French in 2006
and appearing here in English for the first time, Isabelle Stengers
experiments with the possibility of addressing modern practices not
as a block but through the way they diverge from each other.
Drawing on thinkers ranging from Dewey to Deleuze, she develops
what she calls an “ecology of practices” into a capacious and
heterogeneous perspective that is inclusive of cultural and
political forces but not reducible to them. Stengers first
advocates for an approach to sciences that would emphasize the way
each should be situated by the kind of relationships demanded by
what it attempts to address. This approach turns away from the
disabling scientific/nonscientific binary—like the opposition
between the neutrino and Virgin Mary. An ecology of practices
stimulates instead an appetite for thinking reality not as an
arbiter but as what we can relate to through the generation of
diverging concerns and obligations.
