Focusing on the nature of institutions, this book explores them as collective experiences that possess intrinsic, self-sustaining powers. It challenges traditional views of institutional dynamics by emphasizing factors beyond human agency, utilizing insights from institutional sociology, phenomenology, and process philosophy. By highlighting how norms and values can create self-stabilizing configurations, it reveals that institutions shape individuals long before they are shaped by them. The author draws on a diverse range of thinkers to present institutions as aesthetic and affective forces.
