Tools for thinking are then the ones that address and actualize this power of the situation, that make it a matter of concern, in other words, make us think and not recognize. When we deal with practices, recognition would lead to the question — why should we take practices seriously as we know very well that they are in the process of being destroyed by Capitalism? This is their ‘sameness’, indeed, the only difference being between the already destroyed one and the still-surviving ones. The ecology of practices is a non-neutral tool as it entails the decisions never to accept Capitalist destruction as freeing the ground for anything but Capitalism itself. -- Isabelle Stengers
