Synopsis "Weltbeziehung": The Study of our Relationship to the World (in English)"
An interdisciplinary explication of the theory of "Weltbeziehung" or "relationship to the world." Human beings are always and essentially placed and situated in a world to which they relate, and it is this relationship that defines them. This book describes the historical and cultural variety of self-world-relations of this kind and revolves around aspects and dimensions of what Hartmut Rosa has gathered under the term "Weltbeziehung" (relationship to the world), expanding on his theory on resonance. This book starts from this innovative approach to discuss socially relevant questions and conceptions of the present, like property, progress, or markets and then contrasts them with non-Western or non-modern forms of "Weltbeziehungen" like specific conceptions of virtue or fatalistic practices. In an effort to overcome Eurocentric biases, the book also includes studies about the decolonization of research in India and the role of markets in China. In addition, comparisons across time help to further refine our understanding of "Weltbeziehungen." Finally, the volume's contributions discuss a number of challenges and practical problems of the contemporary world such as the migration crises, sharing practices, or knowledge production in light of this conception.
