Recenzje

Beyond Reason is a timely and signal contribution to provincialize Western knowledgeand ways of knowing. Sanjay Seth does it by cautiously undermining the dogmas that identify the explanation with what is explained and the belief that 'society' is an existing entity rather than a social sciences invention.
