More about the book
The book critiques Western political theory for its ethnocentric approach and its tendency to generalize local perspectives into universal claims. It highlights the lack of in-depth understanding of diverse societies, traditions, and moral ideals, which leads to an uncritical application of Western thought. By exploring various areas of moral and political life, the author advocates for a critical dialogue between Western and non-Western perspectives as a means to enrich political theory and achieve a more valid understanding of universal knowledge.
