What is it about?

How does one think differently? How does one get out of fixed, stale ways of perceiving the world and of one's work? How does one do research differently? One way is through thinking with new concepts. Philosophies like posthumanism and new materialism provide challenges to tired, rationalist ways. The article discusses the openings and difficulties of thinking and doing things differently.

Post-philosophical theories and concepts are making themselves felt across different disciplines. The article is especially important for those seeking to embark on new paths, because it shows the possibilities as well as the difficulties of shifting one's mindsets and ways of doing things.

Perspectives

Important for novices in the field, and perhaps for experts to be aware of the difficulties for newcomers.
