Dear Bijan
You have mentioned the term ' non-Western cultural settings'. I am curious
to know who this people are because with modern education spreading all
over the world non western cultures are becoming third rate imitations of
the west.
Our future was frozen with the idea of developed. developing and under
developed countries. The route has been fixed!
this issue is quite similar to the gender issue.
exclusion and 'after thoughts' are the norm of modern civilization which is
rooted in so called rationality.
other ways of knowing and being are systematically being eliminated. i wont
say these are done purposely but the being-ness formed by rationality is
fragmentary, hierarchical, exclusive, anthropocentric. It is in the very
nature of rationality.
The present form of rationality is really irrational!
Jinan,
