As Western hegemony wanes, the promise of universal values is unmasked as a parochial inheritance; and as AI systems multiply, universal truths transform into computed artefacts emerging from a particular code and training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eConcrete Universality\u003c\/em\u003e, Lorenzo Marsili argues that the choice is not between a bankrupt universalism and an 'anything goes' relativism. He proposes a third path: universality as a practice of worldmaking. Drawing on Chinese philosophy, European thought, and the contemporary metaphysics embedded in artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics, Marsili develops the concept of \u003cem\u003eontopoiesis\u003c\/em\u003e: the idea that reality is continuously produced through relations and forms of mediation. This approach gives rise to a new political method: 'concrete universality' emerges from situated encounters yet gains planetary resonance, from AI regulation to climate policy. Here, universality is not a static ideal, but an unfinished voyage whose horizons move as humanity moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is an erudite and impassioned manifesto for a planetary philosophy and a way of weaving together a fragmenting planet, one universal at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67807567184108,"sku":"9781509576234","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509576234-concrete-universality-1.jpg?v=1792524197","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/concrete-universality-by-lorenzo-marsili-9781509576234","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
