About the book:
Articles in this volume contribute to the debates on the issues of globalization and cultural identities by examining the underlying issues of culture, globalization and identities from a socio-political and philosophical perspective. Generally, the essays preferred in this volume are threefold. The first section looks to the reality of globalization and cultural identities as issues of ‘facticity’ and the section has been named as “Globalization and Cultural Identities: Philosophical Reflexivity as Facticity” meaning thereby that globalization has already become an aspect of our human existence. Though we are living in tune with the tradition, yet we are not operating in a traditional context. We are in a global situation which sets different limits to our possibilities; in one word, globalization has enormously become a major aspect of our facticity. The Second section is named as ‘Globalization and Cultural Identities: Ideologies as Existentiality’. This section argues that the self which is the co-creator as well as the repository of meanings can be discovered and recovered through ideologies, religion, education, ethics and the concerns of religious/moral life. The third section, which is titled as ‘Globalization and Cultural Identities: Resources as Fallenness’ examines the fallenness character of the human subject and his loss of identity. The use of the term fallenness by Heidegger points to the typical way in which we are occupied by the events of our life and thereby avoiding the problematic issues of daily lives and thus survive in a state of inauthentic modes.
