Review: "In Reason, Culture, Religion, Ralph Pettman calls for wider recognition of, and greater commitment to, the "new" international relations, a discipline much more comprehensive and cosmopolitan than the "old." He first documents the way modernist analysts describe and explain world politics. Pettman then explores two ways in which the constraints on modernist thinking are transgressed: communalist ("pre-modernist") alternatives to the modernist project and sacralist ("anti-modernist") alternatives to the Christian tradition of which the modernist project is a part."--BOOK JACKET.
