The modernist problematic : the crossing of the rubicon -- 2. The utopian impulse : mnemonics of affective society -- 3. The fatal conceit : elisions of materialism -- 4. On human emancipation : the archaeology of discontent.This book renders an uncompromising verdict on the 'scourge' of our millennium: modernism, itself the artifact of certain late Eurocentric propensities. Kanth argues that while modernism is possessed of some virtues, they are purchased at far too high a cost - indeed a cost that neither the species nor the planet can, on any scale, find affordable. Given the imminence and the gravity of this threat, he further suggests that no other posture is at all ecologically responsible. Kanth suggests, breaking with the manifold paradigms of European expansionism or find ourselves, soon enough, living on a planet damaged beyond recovery.EconometricsPolitical sciencePolitical sciencePhilosophyGlobalizationSociologyAnthropologyQuantitative EconomicsPolitical TheoryPolitical PhilosophyGlobalizationSociologyAnthropologyEconometrics.Political science.Political sciencePhilosophy.Globalization.Sociology.Anthropology.Quantitative Economics.Political Theory.Political Philosophy.Globalization.Sociology.Anthropology.300/.1Rajani Kannepalli Kanth231597MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960822303321Against Eurocentrism4328634UNINA
