In \u003cem\u003eNonideal Social Ontology\u003c\/em\u003e, Åsa Burman provides a systematic overview and synthesis of core ideas in the field by showing that its key questions and central dividing lines can be fruitfully reconstructed as a clash between ideal and nonideal social ontology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBurman argues for the use of nonideal theory in social ontology, claiming that a paradigm shift from ideal to nonideal social ontology is underway, and that this shift should be fully followed through. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBurman offers a new theory, called \u003cem\u003ethe Power View\u003c\/em\u003e, of nonideal social ontology. It uses social power as the central building block, showing how this can partly bridge the divide between ideal and nonideal social ontology.\u003cem\u003e The Power View\u003c\/em\u003e replaces the flat and narrow conception of social power in ideal social ontology with a richer and more extensive conception. In addition, it rectifies a shortcoming in other theories of nonideal social ontology by attending to class, which has been notably overlooked in that literature.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47779604529303,"sku":"9780197509579","price":11384.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197509579.webp?v=1778037793","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nonideal-social-ontology-the-power-view-9780197509579","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
