Power and Agency

Order Description

Essay Question: 1. ‘To adopt the perspective of a world of becoming is to assume a two-pronged approach to agency. At some times and for some purposes you explore how other modes of agency have served as precursors to human agency as they also enter into its layered character now. At other times you focus on how multiple fields with different degrees of agency help to constitute the larger world of becoming in which we are set. Both perspectives are indispensable.’ (Connolly, A World of Becoming, p. 32)

To what extent is Connolly justified in considering modes of agency other than the human in making sense of our contemporary condition? Give you reasoned view.
