| Descripción: | The question of rationality and modernity has played a key role in defining the West’sunderstanding of itself in relation to “the other.” Much of this self-defining was done in a waythat privileged a western model of rationality, which itself was not always carefully defined ordelineated, to the detriment of all others. The period after World War II saw a change in themanner in which these claims of superiority had previously been made. Ethnic and racialdelineations gave way to more nuanced cultural ones, and questions of context, relativism,essentialism, and so on came to play a larger role in the ensuing debates. Is there one standard forrationality? Or do different cultures have their own standard of rationality that isincommensurable with others? This more or less academic debate came to have serious policyimplications as economic globalization came to dominate our lives in the last quarter century.The subsequent discourse about civilizational difference, which became acute in the last decade,makes it imperative to revisit this question of rationality and its implications |
