{"pk":3574,"title":"Another Development: Possibilities of a Counter-Hegemonic Planning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"How do we approach the question of an alternative develop­ ment (for the Third World no less than for the First) in ways that go beyond mere literary utopias? This essay seeks to ex­ plore this question by examining the kinds of behavior that are revealed as the so-called popular classes of Latin Ameri­ can cities confront their daily struggles of survival and liveli­ hood. It is agued that their behavior reflects an existential Reason that must be balanced off against the cognitive Rea­ son which underlies the Enlightenment model ofmoderniza­ tion. Four aspects of this model are examined: in metaphys­ ics, epistemology, philosophical anthropology, and the legal­ political order. The essay concludes by aguing that existen­ tial and cognitive Reason stand in a dialectical relationship where each defines and sets limits to the other, thus preven­ ting the totalization of any model, including the hegemonic model of capitalist modernization.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1km4d87j","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"John","middle_name":"","last_name":"Friedmann","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-07-26T01:44:26Z","date_accepted":"2012-07-26T01:44:26Z","date_published":"1989-07-25T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3574/galley/2331/download/"}]}
