Explores the idea that reality is structured as a multiplicity of divergent, yet coexisting worldsMaps different concepts of world in contemporary philosophy and traces their genealogiesCritically examines the ideas on the multiplicity of worlds in contemporary continental philosophyRethinks the concept of world as a transcendental frameworkContrasts political cosmopolitanism with Rancière's conception of politics as a conflict of worlds in order to reframe discussions about current political crisesProposes a Leibnizian approach to contemporary aesthetics by understanding artworks as monadic objects, which reconfigure the transcendental coordinates of experienceBy engaging with the work of modern and contemporary philosophers and writers, in particular G. W. Leibniz, Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Rancière and Marcel Proust, Rok Benčin proposes a new understanding of these worlds as overlapping transcendental frameworks consisting of fictional structures that frame ontological multiplicity.Examining political conflicts and aesthetic interferences that exist between divergent worlds today, he reconsiders the way political and artistic practices reconfigure contemporary experiences of worldliness.
