Fred Dallmayr’s paintings is cutting edge in its rethinking of a few of the important ideas of contemporary political philosophy, not easy the hegemony of a contemporary “subjectivity” on the middle of Western liberalism, individualism and rationalism, and articulating substitute voices, claims and ideas. His writings productively confound the logocentrism of Western modernity, whereas delivering substitute conceptions of political neighborhood which are post-individualist, post-anthropocentric and relational.
The editor has curious about paintings in 3 key areas:
Critical phenomenology and the examine of politics
The first choices specialize in the philosophical roots of Dallmayr’s paintings in of the main leading edge highbrow traits of the 20 th century: phenomenology and demanding idea. those chapters define a few of the major arguments complex by way of practitioners of phenomenology, fairly “existential phenomenology,” besides the guiding rules of serious thought and important Marxism, whereas tracing Dallmayr’s debt to thinkers corresponding to Heidegger, Gadamer, Habermas, Adorno and Merleau-Ponty.
Cross-cultural theory
These readings illustrate Dallmayr’s explorations past the confines of Western tradition, as this part of his pondering turns towards what's now referred to as cross-cultural or “comparative” political thought. In an procedure that continues its linkage with serious phenomenology, Dallmayr asserts that Western (or European-American) political conception can now not declare undisputed hegemony; fairly it needs to enable itself to be contested, amplified and corrected via a comparability with non-Western theoretical traditions and initiatives.
Cosmopolitanism
These choices discover the ultimate section of Dallmayr’s paintings, within which he applies his insights on cross-cultural reviews to the context of worldwide politics, rebutting Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis, and as a substitute arguing for a cosmopolitanism that takes a center direction among either worldwide universalism and restrictive particularism, advocating sustained discussion and respectful mutual studying among international locations and civilizations.
