He argues that the postcolonial challenge exposes the limitation of Western social thought to explain many pressing social and economic issues, domestic and global. The End of Conceit concludes that, ultimately, what the West needs is not more and better theory but an entirely new way of thinking - one that will put an end to its current deep-seated conceit.International relationsPhilosophyEast and WestInternational relationsbicsscWestern countriesForeign public opinionWestern countriesForeign relationsInternational relationsPhilosophy.East and West.International relations327.091821Chabal Patrick243091MHWCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910791703503321End of conceit3818368UNINA
