Modern political and social theory is fundamentally eurocentric,
yet the critique of eurocentrism remains marginal to critical
realist and marxist theory. The political and social structures of
modernity are dominated by really eurocentric forms and relations,
yet the theorisation of the eurocentricity of modernity is largely
undeveloped.
In its attempt to tackle eurocentrism, Eurocentrism: A Critical
Realist and Marxian Critique of Civil Society brings social theory
up against the deeply embedded constraints that modern life places
on historical and social reflexivity.
This book examines the powerful anti-eurocentric tendencies of
critical realism and marxian critiques of civil society, and
evaluates their potential as solutions to this eurocentrist
dilemma. Could a more self-consciously anti-eurocentric approach
from these fields help us to focus without this historical and
social bias? Accomplishing this will significantly expand the
potential to provide an adequate grounding for theories of the
essentially Eurocentric structures of modern theory and social
relations.
