This social and political philosophy essay invites those who feel paralyzed by the magnitude of these problems to mobilize based on an awareness of our vulnerability. Far from falling into defeatism, the author proposes weaving collective resistance and reinventing our capacity to respond to the neoliberal narrative. An urgent book for those who want to stop living in suspense and dare to act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsabelle Stengers directs this work to a reader trapped between the urgency to act and a feeling of powerlessness. The author analyzes how the neoliberal narrative produces exploitation, wars, and growing inequalities, and how that same narrative paralyzes us by making us believe it is too late or that everything will fix itself. Confronting this barbarity, Stengers proposes listening to uncomfortable truths, accepting our vulnerability on the planet, and, from there, reinventing political and collective action. The book intertwines shared resistance and capabilities as the only path to building a different future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of neoliberalism as a paralyzing narrative that produces inequality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHuman and planetary vulnerability as a starting point for action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe reinvention of collective responsiveness in the face of catastrophes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe need to weave resistance and alliances from an awareness of the crisis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary political philosophy, critical thinking, and political ecology.
