Reviews
"A slightly eccentric, but very enjoyable, account of globalization." Australian Journal of Political Science "We might wonder whether anything new remains to be said on globalization. Reading Rüdiger Safranski's account of the issue, it becomes immediately obvious, maybe surprisingly, that the answer can be highly affirmative." Peter Wagner, European University Institute and University of Warwick

Synopsis
Catastrophic climate changes, jet-setting, high-tech communications and the perfect 'big brother' state, as well as international security and terrorism - the philosopher Rdiger Safranski explains that if one considers these developments and threats, then the thinking process itself falls into the trap of globalization. Two basic questions create a monotonous circle of examination: some would ask how we can control what is global, while others ask how can we save it from its ever-threatened destruction. In this book, Safranski grapples with this wave of impressions and threats of the global world. He explains how the term globalization, once a word that depicted vast freedom and spaciousness, has become a prison, a place of hysteria. He encourages the development of open spaces to support balance and freedom of action. In the past we shaped clearings in forests to allow for the creation of civilizations. The author suggests that today global civilization has become an undergrowth of weeds, into which individuals have to hack in order to create their own personal 'clearing'. For the author, the aim is not for the individual to cut him or herself off, but rather to hold off the demands of globalization in such a way that individuality can be upheld., According to current deabtes, 'individualization' has frequently been proposed as the conceptual counterpart to 'globalization'. It has often seemed that nothing would be left once these processes have fully unfolded, other than individual human atoms dispersed on a globe without any political, economic or cultural structures. Regardless of whether this description is based on any good and valid observation, nobody drew the conclusion that suddenly emerges as evident after reading Rüdiger Safranski's lucid and timely exploration of the issue: globalization, if it occurs, means a radical change in the human condition. It brings human being in direct confrontation with the world in its totality. Almost unnoticed in broader debate, the scenario of globalization entails a return - in new a radical guise - of the time-honoured question of the ways of being-in-the-world of human beings. In this compelling new book, the philosopher Rüdiger Safranski grapples with the pressing problems of the global age: 'Big Brother' states, terrorism, international security and the seeming impossibility of 'world' peace. He suggests that the era ofglobalization should not be thought of as that epoch in world history in which all human beings will see themselves in the same, indistinct situation. There will always be, Sanfranski argues, some need for understanding one's own situation by drawing boundaries and conceptualizing 'otherness' and individuality., According to current deabtes, individualization has frequently been proposed as the conceptual counterpart to globalization.

- r***g (245)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (286)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (419)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
