The book offers a critical synthesis of critical theory, decolonial
theory and Buddhist/Confucian inspired social theory. It does so as
a cosmopolitan endeavour in order to overcome the limitations of
these three traditions. The Buddhist/Confucian inspired social
theory provides a robust and interpenetrative account of intra and
inter-cultural social ontology, critical theory safeguards the
individual and decolonial theory forces us to move away from ideals
to instead focus on injustices. The approach is a unique and
original synthesis of these three traditions. This leads to a
conceptually non-western centric account of critical
cosmopolitanism and radical democracy. The main themes are
eurocentrism, cosmopolitanism, post-individual subjectivity and
democracy. In providing such an account it allows for the study of
the effects of the lives of those in colonised societies but also
provides a mechanism to explore the effects of colonisation on the
colonising societies.
