Description
Knowledge and Human Liberation: Towards Planetary Realizations explores the transformative role that knowledge can play in human liberation. This multidimensional struggle involves not only breaking free from oppressive structures, but also from our own inner oppressions.
The book rethinks knowledge in relation to familiar themes such as human interest, critical theory, enlightenment, and rationality, seeking a new understanding of its relationship with democracy, pluralism, and secularism. A Foreword by John Clammer and an Afterword by Fred Dallmayr add depth to this thought-provoking volume.
With 332 pages, this paperback edition offers a comprehensive exploration of the complex connections between knowledge and human liberation. Ananta Kumar Giri's work is a valuable contribution to ongoing debates in social science, philosophy, and epistemology.
