In this incisive critique, Dussel demonstrates how most of thse philosophies have either failed to give historically faithful analyses of the genesis of the \"myth\" of modernity, or have never engaged in a serious questioning of their own Eurocentric presuppositions. He shows how North American and European philosophers have presupposed a no-longer-acceptable philosophy of history that has led them to fall into a \"developmental fallacy,\" the belief that there is a linear sequence that moves from the premodern, underdeveloped, or on the way to industrialization, to the modern, developed, and industrialized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnrique Dussel \u003c\/b\u003eis an Argentine-Mexican writer and philosopher, who has taught at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and as a guest lecturer at many universities in Europe and North America.
