Overview
This book tackles questions posed by modernity, the European colonial powers, and capitalism as simultaneous phenomena. It also compares the ideas of Marx with those of Schelling; looking at the theme of politics in E. Levinas and the role played by tautological argument in imperial policy (from John Locke to George W. Bush). It also develops the concept of tolerance so as to go beyond mere solidarity, offering a critique of the quasi-anarchist ideas of John Holloway regarding the problems posed by political institutions and power. It concludes with the hypothesis that the critical stance taken by the first two generations of the Frankfurt School would survive at the margins of the postcolonial world in the form of liberation philosophy, more specifically in the shape of the liberation politics emerging in the wake of the shift toward decolonization since the 1970s. En este libro se tratan cuestiones abiertas sobre la modernidad, los imperios coloniales europeos y el capitalismo como fenomenos simultaneos. Tambien la relacion del pensamiento de Marx con el de Schelling; el tema politico en E. Levinas; la funcion de los argumentos tautologicos en politica imperial (desde John Locke a George W. Bush); un desarrollo del concepto de tolerancia que se trasciende en el de solidaridad, desde las hipotesis de trabajo de K.-O. Apel y J. Habemas; una critica al pensamiento cuasi-anarquista de John Hollaway en torno al problema de las instituciones politicas y el poder, para concluir con la propuesta de que el pensamiento critico de las dos primeras generaciones de la Escuela de Frankfurt se continuaria en la periferia mundial postcolonial a traves de la filosofia de la liberacion; mas en concreto, por medio de una politica de la liberacion, que es producto del giro decolonizador desde los anos setenta del siglo XX. Politica en la que desembocan todos estos trabajos que abarcan muchos anos de estudios sobre el tema.
