Description
The social sciences and humanities worldwide are discovering the necessity to self-critically reshape their theorizing: The first critique of social science theorizing calls for globalizing, the second, parallel critique, for de-colonizing social thought. In his highly topical book, Michael Kuhn discusses * why and how the globalization of social science theorizing introduces thinking through nation state perspectives as an up-to-date methodological must; * how the de-colonialization of social science theorizing with the critique of Eurocentrism and its thinking through space paves the way for the worldwide implementation of thinking through nation-state views, transforming the social science world into a multiplicity of provincialized theories; * with which odd argumentations the indigenization of thought produces contributions to the ideological armament of the new states in the so-called 3rd world after their transformation into the very society system of the former colonizers; * how these indigenized theories make discourses among de-colonized theories a matter of which provincialized theory manages to rule the worldwide creation of theories; * how the masterminds of globally de-colonized thinking present imperial thought as guiding theories for mankinds thinking; * what templates for the turn from anti-capitalist towards nationalistic thinking Historical Materialism has provided, and * what consequences all this has for the social sciences as a voice in political debates about the world.
