| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | It has become commonplace to write about the vociferous appetite of colonialism and its insatiable devouring of modern life. In this book the authors expand on those ideas, showing how there has been a colonization of critical theory itself, fitted with prejudices that would limit knowledge to analytic reductions commensurate with so-called Western metaphysics. Against such a monolithic force, the authors posit the work of the oft-neglected German Idealist Ernst Cassirer in careful textual precision to unearth his contribution to critical theory via an in-depth understanding of symbolic forms in all of their richness and complexity. Such a maneuver allows an ethical humanism to emerge that grants equal importance and standing both to the intellectual heritage of Afro-Caribbean historicism and poeticism and to the long-ignored significance of black philosophies of existence. Each of these traditions provide searing indictments against imperialist domination of the so-called Third World and return such questions of domination to the realm of critical theory against some who would deny that we are still in an age of imperialism. The focus of this book is an exposition on the human condition that is then expanded upon to raise, and at times answer, some of the most important questions of Gwhat is to be doneG about the global racism, sexism, and poverty that have asymmetrically infected the livelihoods and ways of life for so many people who have been rendered beneath the register of humanity. |
