This book is rooted in an epistemological approach to sociology in
which the boundaries between Western and non-Western sociologies
are acknowledged and built on. It argues that knowledge is
organised in conceptual spaces linked to paradigms and programmes
which in turn are linked to ethnocentred knowledge processes; that
until recently Western approaches, including Post-Colonial, French
Social Science and American approaches, have dominated non-Western
theories; and that Western theories have sometimes seemed incapable
of explaining phenomena produced in other societies. It goes on to
argue that the blurring of boundaries between Western and
non-Western sociologies is very important; and that such a
Post-Western approach will mean co-production and co-construction
of common knowledge, the recognition of ignored or forgotten
scientific cultures and a "global change" in sociology which
imposes theoretical and methodological detours, displacements,
reversals and conversions. The book brings together a wide range of
Western and Chinese sociologists who explore the consequences of
this new approach in relation to many different issues and aspects
of sociology.
