Produktbeschreibung
In Global Politics of the Mind, Kenneth Burke deconstructs constructivism in political philosophy and then offers a new perspective based on the origins of the theory in educational psychology. In doing so, from the beginnings of political science to its contemporary debates, the work develops poignant insight into the evolution of international relations theory. The historical background provides a critical epistemological foundation that addresses the conceptual confusion over constructivist political theory. While rightfully clarifying and directing ideas through educational, organizational, and systems theory, the analysis undertaken illustrates the real potential for theory and practice. Through clear and straightforward language, the work avoids the abstract and counterproductive philosophizing that consumes the current discourse. With a pragmatic philosophy to solve the discontent with the prevailing research in the area, it equally identifies the limitations for constructivism. In this way, the book evinces the promise as well as the risks for further theory development within an environment of increased global activity.
