The social sciences and humanities worldwide are discovering the necessity to self-critically
reshape their theorizing: The first critique of social science theorizing calls for
¿globalizing¿ the second parallel critique for ¿de-colonizing¿ social thought. In his highly
topical book Michael Kuhn discusses · why and how the ¿globalization¿ of social science
theorizing introduces thinking through nation state perspectives as an up-to-date
methodological must · how the ¿de-colonialization¿ of social science theorizing with the
critique of Eurocentrism and its thinking through space paves the way for the worldwide
implementation of thinking through nation-state views transforming the social science world
into a multiplicity of ¿provincialized¿ theories · with which odd argumentations the
¿indigenization¿ of thought produces contributions to the ideological armament of the new
states in the so-called 3rd world after their transformation into the very society system of
the former colonizers · how these indigenized theories make discourses among de-colonized
theories a matter of which ¿provincialized¿ theory manages to rule the worldwide creation of
theories · how the masterminds of globally de-colonized thinking present imperial thought as
guiding theories for mankind¿s thinking · what templates for the turn from anti-capitalist
towards nationalistic thinking Historical Materialism has provided and · what consequences all
this has for the social sciences as a voice in political debates about the world.
