In a world of appalling social inequalities people are becoming more aware of the
multiple dimensions of injustice, whether social, political, cultural, sexual, ethnic,
religious, historical, or ecological. Rarely acknowledged is another vital dimension:
cognitive injustice, the failure to recognize the different ways of knowing by which
people across the globe run their lives and provide meaning to their existence. This
book shows why cognitive injustice underlies all the other dimensions; global social
justice is not possible without global cognitive justice. Santos's argument unfolds
in two inquiries. No matter how internally diverse, Western Modernity provided the
knowledge underlying the long cycle of colonialism followed by global capitalism.
These historical processes profoundly devalued and marginalized the knowledge and
wisdom that had been in existence in the global South. Today, working against epistemicide
is imperative in order to recover and valorize the epistemological diversity of the
world. Such recovery and valorization is the book's second inquiry and is based on
four key analytical tools: sociology of absences, sociology of emergences, ecology
of knowledges, and intercultural translation. The transformation of the world's epistemological
diversity into an empowering instrument against hegemonic globalization points to
a new kind of bottom-up cosmopolitanism. It would promote a wide conversation of humankind,
celebrating conviviality, solidarity, and life against the logic of market-ridden
greed and individualism and the destruction of life to which world populations large
and small are condemned by the dominant forces of globalization. --Provided by publisher
