The Underside of Modernity: Apel, Ricoeur, Rorty, Taylor and the Philosophy of Liberation - Softcover
Synopsis
Dussel shows how North American and European philosophers have presupposed a no-longer-acceptable philosophy of history that has led them to fall into a "developmental fallacy," the belief that there is a linear sequence that moves from the pre-modern, underdeveloped, or on the way to industrialisation, to the modern, developed, and industrialised.

Review
"... an exciting breakthrough in the rethinking of Western Eurocentrism ..." -- Fredric R Jameson, Duke University "Dussel's insistence on the ethical-political centrality of widespread human misery, and on its economic basis and global scale, is a much needed antidote to the recent tendency to forget or ignore it. Anyone interested in critical theory should find this a challenging and rewarding book." -- Thomas McCarthy, Northwestern University
