Meer over het boek

Challenging the conventional belief in knowledge as certainty, Immanuel Wallerstein critiques the rigid divisions within academia that hinder understanding of the social world. He argues for a transformative approach to the social sciences that embraces uncertainty and complexity, proposing a methodology that reflects the realities of knowledge in contemporary thought. This work reflects Wallerstein's ongoing exploration of the crisis in intellectual discourse, advocating for a more nuanced and flexible understanding of social phenomena.
