About the Book

Habit has long preoccupied a wide range of theologians, philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, and neuroscientists. In Habit's Pathways Tony Bennett explores the political consequences of the varied ways in which habit's repetitions have been acted on to guide or direct conduct. Bennett considers habit's uses and effects across the monastic regimens of medieval Europe, in plantation slavery and the factory system, through colonial forms of rule, and within a range of medicalized pathologies. He brings these episodes in habit's political histories to bear on contemporary debates ranging from its role in relation to the politics of white supremacy to the digital harvesting of habits in practices of algorithmic governance. Throughout, Bennett tracks how habit's repetitions have been articulated differently across divisions of class, race, and gender, demonstrating that although habit serves as an apparatus for achieving success, self-fulfilment, and freedom for the powerful, it has simultaneously served as a means of control over women, racialized peoples, and subordinate classes.

Review :
Habit’s Pathways makes a valuable contribution to discussions and theories of habit in its assemblage and detailed analysis of all the important thinkers on the subject, from Augustine, Kant, and Dewey to Deleuze, Foucault, and Malabou, devising what surely must be the new standard account of habit in contemporary Western thought. A tremendous achievement.” - Susan Zieger, author of (The Mediated Mind: Affect, Ephemera, and Consumerism in the Nineteenth Century) “Tony Bennett, one of our most important cultural critics, reckons with the many meanings of habit in an argument that is both wide-ranging and fine-grained. Delving into its intellectual and political histories, he delivers a trenchant and highly illuminating analysis of habit’s relations to freedom and constraint.” - Rita Felski, John Stewart Bryan Professor, University of Virginia
