Drawing on evolutionary epistemology, process ontology, and a
social-cognition approach, this book suggests cognitive evolution,
an evolutionary-constructivist social and normative theory of
change and stability of international social orders. It argues that
practices and their background knowledge survive preferentially,
communities of practice serve as their vehicle, and social orders
evolve. As an evolutionary theory of world ordering, which does not
borrow from the natural sciences, it explains why certain
configurations of practices organize and govern social orders
epistemically and normatively, and why and how these configurations
evolve from one social order to another. Suggesting a multiple and
overlapping international social orders' approach, the book uses
three running cases of contested orders - Europe's contemporary
social order, the cyberspace order, and the corporate order - to
illustrate the theory. Based on the concepts of common humanity and
epistemological security, the author also submits a normative
theory of better practices and of bounded progress.
