In this incisive critique, Dussel demonstrates how most of thse philosophies have either failed to give historically faithful analyses of the genesis of the \"myth\" of modernity, or have never engaged in a serious questioning of their own Eurocentric presuppositions. He shows how North American and European philosophers have presupposed a no-longer-acceptable philosophy of history that has led them to fall into a \"developmental fallacy,\" the belief that there is a linear sequence that moves from the premodern, underdeveloped, or on the way to industrialization, to the modern, developed, and industrialized.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enrique Dussel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1573923966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573923965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Humanities Press Intl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Enrique Dussel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985176297727,"sku":"9781573923965","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a06d6dc0-1ec5-4da3-81c0-ca61057ff009.jpg?v=1683276004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-underside-of-modernity-enrique-dussel-9781573923965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
