The Territories of Philosophy in Modern Historiography
253 p.
- In the recent past, critical discussions concerning notions such as âÂcultural area' and âÂarea studies' - as well as their relativization by means of conceptions that avoid splitting clearly identified areas (inter alia, âÂthird space', âÂhybridity', âÂdiaspora', or âÂcosmopolitanism') - have drawn attention to the long history of cultural territorialization. This book attempts to open the history of philosophy to reflexive and globalizing tendencies elaborated in the field of âÂworld history'. From the seventeenth century onward, in both modern Europe and North America, historical sciences - notably philosophical historiography and cultural history - colonized both the past (or national pasts) and the âÂrest' of the world. The contributions gathered in this volume address both phenomena to the extent that they have been linked with modern historicization of philosophy, sciences, and culture. [Publisher's text].
