摘要:Political thought has consistently dealt with particularist anduniversalist allegiance and ideality. Several — isms, chief among them,patriotism, communitarianism, cosmopolitanism, internationalism have beenproduced from various treatments of particularism and universalism. Inrecent decades the preoccupation with the ‘modernism versus postmodernism’divide has set the stage for re-considerations of diverse commitments thatemanate fromlocal and global allegiance. After briefly explaining particularistand universalist political ideality, this article raises the claim that epochaldebates such as the ‘modernism versus postmodernism’ offer (even if inretrospect) a new discursive context for framing local attachment andglobal obligation. To substantiate this claim, the article employs the politicalissue of material aid and redistribution of wealth. It concludes with someindicative remarks concerning how ambivalences of the particular and theuniversal can be investigated through a theory of justice that takes into accountmodern and postmodern sensibilities.
