Abstract
This paper was presented as part of Rethinking the Postcolonial in the Age of the War on Terror joint symposium, by the MnM Centre in conjunction with the UNESCO Chair in Transnational Diasporas and Reconciliation Studies, at the University of South Australia, on 16 and 17 September 2010. The aim of the symposium was to explore the postcolonial condition in the era of the \u27war on terror\u27 and to rethink postcolonialism in order to reformulate or reinforce its critical insights.
While doubtful of the premise underlying the symposium title, this paper makes a case for intellectual history and describes the recent resurgence of philosopical cosmopolitanism within post-colonial discourse
