- This book is the outcome of more than a decade of sustained research and writing- it was first announced as a project at the author’s inaugural professorial address in January 2009, (subsequently published as an article in International Political Sociology in 2013). This strongly interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work is over 100,000 words in length, and traverses a number of disciplines, including politics, history (including history of science, music and art), philosophy and anthropology, in the course of making its argument that what we treat as the ‘truths’ discovered by social scientific reason, are instead a parochial knowledge.
