In A New Philosophy of Society Manuel DeLanda offers a fascinating
look at how the contemporary world is characterized by an
extraordinary social complexity. Since most social entities, from
small communities to large nation-states would disappear altogether
if our cognitive abilities ceased to exist, DeLanda proposes a
novel approach to social ontology that asserts the autonomy of
social entities from the conceptions we have of them. He argues
that Gilles Deleuze's theory of assemblages provides a framework in
which sociologists and geographers studying social networks and
regions can properly locate their work and fully elucidate the
connections between them. Indeed, assemblage theory, as DeLanda
argues, can be used to model any community, from interpersonal
networks and institutional organizations, to central governments,
cities and nation states.
