Currently I’m reading Nina Burton’s ‘Livets tunna väggar’ which translate to something like Walls of Life. It’s a book by a Swedish writer who inherits her mother’s summer house. When she wants to renovate it, she finds all sort of life around and in the house. She uses said life to teach you something about the intellect of various insects and animals, which goes deeper than humans normally think.
It’s a very interesting book that makes me think about non-human life even more. Creatures that are thousands of times smaller than we are have such complex societal structures. Humans have overcommodified animal life for centuries now, seeing them as property and commodities instead of complex and intelligent life forms.
What are you reading?
On practice isn’t really a communist theory book, it’s more like a book about management.
Nonetheless it’s still a good read.
Management? The essay is about the basic worldview of materialism and where knowledge comes from.
I guess you can look at it that way, but this is the kind of stuff you do in management as well.
I don’t know anything about management so maybe you’re right, but from the first paragraph it’s pretty clear what the essay is about.
