Globalisation and Totality

Abstract

Standing on the threshold of the third millennium, it seems clear that the buzzword globalisation can describe the direction of studies in several different fields, including aesthetics. As several forces - technological, economic, and political - continue to intertwine people, as never before, the need for research that is global in range becomes an absolute necessity. Globalisation does not concern only economy and politics; exceptionally important is as well the role of culture in this process, and moreover the possibility that we can give some philosophical determination of globalisation.
