Opis

This book argues that the rise of the global South calls for a revision of European epistemology and ethics, outlining a theory of the social sciences that is sustainable in a post-Eurocentric world and offering a potential way - beyond the dichotomy of universalism and relativism - out of the impasse between the established social sciences and postcolonialism/postmodernism.
