Eduardo Mendieta applies an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most fundamental experiences of globalization: the mega-urbanization of humanity. The claim that globalization unsettles our epistemic maps of the world is tested against a study of Latin America. Mendieta also recontextualizes the work of three major theorists of globalization?Enrique Dussel, Cornel West, and Jürgen Habermas?to show how their thinking reflects engagement with central problems of globalization and, conversely, how globalization itself is exemplified through the reception of their work. Beyond the epistemic hubris of social theories that seek to accept or reject a globalized world, Mendieta calls for a dialogic cosmopolitanism that departs from the mutuality of teaching and learning in a world that is global but not totalized. 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aGlobalization$xPhilosophy 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$zLatin America 606 $aCivilization, Modern$y21st century 606 $aCritical theory 607 $aLatin America$xForeign relations$y1980- 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aGlobalization$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCivilization, Modern 615 0$aCritical theory. 676 $a303.48/201 700 $aMendieta$b Eduardo$0254443 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958105903321 996 $aGlobal fragments$94368934 997 $aUNINA
