One could take an example of a substance (let us say a drop of blood on a finger), place it under the microscope and discern the snowflake of haemoglobin with the iron atom in the middle and the lace of oxygen and hydrogen around it, but the observation itself would create the structure, and only locally; not one single drop of all cubic kilometres of blood in all living creatures would have this appearance.

John Dewey uses the term trans-action predominantly in Knowing and the Known , written together with Arthur Bentley in 1949. The term intr a-action is coined by the American feminist and physicist Karen Barad and is a key-concept of her agential realism as developed in Meeting the Universe Halfway from 2007. Relationalism challenges the very basis for the traditional debate between realism and relativism by cutting across the allege d divide between these two perspectives. In the relationalist perspective outl ined, it is the relational intraactivity that constitutes reality and defines subje ct and object. Is this, then, a way to understand reality, or i s it (just) a way to understand our understanding of reality? That is: are we dealing with ontology or ...

Barad’s agential realism is presented as the cornerstone of a relationalist metaphysics, challenging the mainstream masculine metaphysics of separateness. Agential realism is also applied as a fruitful perspective for an alternative understanding of religion, and as an important and solid theoretical perspective for the further development of feminist philosophy of religion. The latter claim is substantiated through a discussion of Pamela Sue Anderson’s and Grace Jantzen’s feminist philosophies of religion, showing how they can benefit from and find support in Barad’s ontoepistemological metaphysics.
