Benso publishes book ‘Rethinking Life’
Silvia Benso, professor of philosophy and director of the women’s, gender, and sexuality studies program, published Rethinking Life: Italian Philosophy in Precarious Times (SUNY Press). The volume gathers 14 contributions written by Italian philosophers within the context of the precariousness and vulnerability revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond the geographical, socio-political, and medical contexts in which the reflections originate, Rethinking Life proposes a different configuration of life and collective living centered on relational subjectivities, interconnectedness, interdependence, and solidarity.
