Description
How can universality be addressed after the necessary epistemic and ethical critique of Western universalism? Building on such concepts as materiality and reparation, narration and translation, the series Beyond Universalism | Partager l'universel seeks to understand how contemporary cultural and social practices are producing a new consciousness of universality - experiences, reflections, and agencies of a shared humanity.
This volume examines the philosophical fate of the notion of "world" at a time when contemporary crises and pluralist ontologies appear to challenge its unity. Between critiques of universalism and explorations of new forms of plurality, the contributions gathered here investigate the conditions under which it remains possible-or even necessary-to rethink the world as a shared horizon of meaning.
