Jung In Kang

Western-Centrism and Contemporary Korean Political Thought

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It is a paradox that there are few monographs committed to examining Western-centrism in the discipline of (Western) political theory, an intellectual tradition that has long been proud of critical self-reflection. This book is an outgrowth of examining Western political theory and the ideational processes by which contemporary Korean political theory has interacted with it.
