  • 소개/요약There is much talk about globalization in sociology but there is very little concrete effort to bring sociology and social theory into a mutually transforming dialogue involving cultural presuppositions about self, culture and society from within various locations and traditions in our world. In Chap. 2 an attempt is made to bring certain strands in Euro-American social theory into dialogue with some Asian traditions of thinking and being. It discusses self, Confucianism, dynamic harmony and post-colonialism as part of this broader field of social theory and Asian dialogues.
