Reason in the city of difference -- On the body -- On the street -- In the community -- In the public realm -- At home and work in the urban economy -- In city hall -- Cosmopolitan reason and the global city.
"In the modernist city rationality ruled and subsumed difference in a logic of identity. In the postmodern city, reason is abandoned for an endless play of difference. Reason in the City of Difference poses an alternative to these extremes by drawing on classical American philosophical pragmatism (and its contemporary developments in feminism and the philosophy of communication) to explore the possibilities of a strengthening and deepening of reason in the contemporary city."--Jacket.
