Beskrivning

Solo: Postmodern Explorations provides a postmodern approach to technoscience and economics. Sassower pulls together postmodern motifs and attitudes with his own experience to provide a unique perspective on political history and economics. Solo raises the question of whether it is possible to be an objective observer and what that means for scholarship, especially when it concerns making assessments of other cultures in the developing world. Sassower questions the usefulness of applying external economic measurements on the economic development of these countries.

Recensioner i media

In Solo, Raphael Sassower takes his readers on a remarkable personal and philosophical journey. Interweaving intimate observations and intellectual meditations, he takes snapshots of amazing places and a specific moment of academic debate, while offering a meaningful and moving tour of some of the central questions of Western thought. In the wake of the Arab Spring and amid the ongoing global financial crisis, he provides valuable insights into the meaning of globalization, the contours of development, and the notion of the third world.
