• In A New Philosophy of Society Manuel DeLanda offers a fascinating look at how the contemporary world is characterized by an extraordinary social complexity
• Since most social entities
• From small communities to large nation-states would disappear altogether if our cognitive abilities ceased to exist
• DeLanda proposes a novel approach to social ontology that asserts the autonomy of social entities from the conceptions we have of them
• He argues that Gilles Deleuze's theory of assemblages provides a framework in which sociologists and geographers studying social networks and regions can properly locate their work and fully elucidate the connections between them
• Indeed
• Assemblage theory
• As DeLanda argues
• Can be used to model any community
• From interpersonal networks and institutional organizations
