| 书目名称 | Science and the Decolonization of Social Theory | | 副标题 | Unthinking Modernity | | 编辑 | Gennaro Ascione | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | This book addresses the ideological figure of modernity, its presumed historical significance as an era, and its theoretical adequacy as a frame. It shows how science is evoked to prevent the sociological imagination from elaborating non-Eurocentric categories and terminologies that are more adequate for a global age. The idea of modernity should not only be contested, but radically unthought in its foundational assumptions. These assumptions inform concepts such as secularization, emancipation, the ‘global‘ and accumulation of capital. This book frees these concepts from ethnocentrism and discloses a path toward a new, non-Eurocentric, global social theory. .Gennaro Ascione explores the transformative potential of decolonizing knowledge through a radical reconsideration of the historical and epistemological role that the intellectual reference to science plays in the construction of concepts. This ground-breaking work challenges social theoriststo think globally beyond modernity, bringing together social theory and science in an unprecedented way. Importantly, it makes accessible a new space of missing theorization for further developments and inquiries in the field.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Capitalism; Decolonising; Decolonial; Anti-colonial; Post-colonial; history of science; Eurocentricity; sts | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-51686-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-51686-2 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
