| Summary: | This book provides a rich and systematic engagement with Jürgen Habermas' political theory from critical perspectives outside its Western locus. It constructively examines the theory's implications for non-'Western' contexts ranging from Latin America and the Middle East to India and China, and for themes ranging from cosmopolitanism, democracy, and human rights to colonialism, feminism, care, modernity and religion. The chapters added to the second edition explore Habermas' own recent response to the charge of 'provincialism.' The book will be of special interest to scholars and students of political theory, global justice, international affairs, philosophy and critical theory, and also to those working in postcolonial studies, religious studies, sociology and cultural studies. |
