Routledge Critical Theory After the Rise of the Global South

As Euro-American hegemony ends and a multi-centric world returns, the traditional foundations of philosophy and social sciences face significant challenges. This volume from the Routledge Studies in Emerging Societies series examines the attack on Eurocentrism and the lack of established alternatives in current academic discourse. This book explores the opportunity to reassess Western-developed social science philosophy. It argues that the re-emergence of a multi-centric global landscape allows critical theory to break free from the paradoxes and impasses that have limited its progress in the past. By looking beyond traditional Western frameworks, the text provides a foundation for understanding how social sciences can evolve in a changing global order. Ideal for students and scholars in anthropology and sociology, this work offers a deep look at the shifting dynamics between established Western thought and the rising influence of the Global South. It serves as a necessary resource for those studying the evolution of critical theory and the changing structure of global intellectual power.
