Description

Referring to Richard Rorty's "Achieving Our Country" in his title, yet rejecting Rorty's focus as both ethnocentric and too limited, Dallmayr presents a philosophical and political examination of the alternatives to globalization. Separating the philosophical and political sections of the book, yet insisting that the two are inextricably linked, he first examines the possibilities for cosmopolitan democracy to arise from grassroots movements intimately connected to local cultural traditions, rather than imposed from above by the West. Next, he looks at concepts of self vs. other and cross-cultural encounters as foundational ideas for the process of achieving global democracy.
