Kierkegaard after the genomescience, existence and belief in this world /[electronic resource] :by Ada S. Jaarsma. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xiii, 227 p. :ill., digital ;22 cm.

1. Sin, Secularity and Belief in This World -- 2. The Existential Stakes of Epigenetics -- 3. Placebos and the Materiality of Belief -- 4. Design, Disability and Play: Becoming in the Classroom -- 5 Is Science Post-Secular? Cures, Despair and Spiritual Practice.

This book brings Soren Kierkegaard's nineteenth-century existentialist project into our contemporary age, applying his understanding of "freedom" and "despair" to science and science studies, queer, decolonial and critical race theory, and disability studies. The book draws out the materialist dimensions of belief, examining the existential dynamics of phenomena like placebos, epigenetics, pedagogy, and scientific inquiry itself. Each chapter dramatizes the ways in which abstractions like "race" or "genes" and even "belief" are sites of contested practices with pressing political significance. Focusing on the existential dangers posed by neo-liberal and finance capitalist systems, the book brings to life the resources for resistance found within science studies and critical approaches to race, secularity, and disability. Throughout the book, Kierkegaard becomes an ally with ecological and developmental evolutionary theorists, as well as with science studies, critical race, and crip theorists who foreground the relational and impassioned nature of existence.
