ARCHIVES: OPINIONISTA: India’s history offers us a lens to examine what is happening in South Africa now

The term “incommensurable” means “to have no common measure” and has its origins in ancient Greek mathematics, where it meant no common measure between magnitudes.

For Schiller, in order to achieve a similarly free society, a transformation of character, through aesthetic experience, was needed to restore our full humanity, even if undertaken within competition and the one-sidedness that characterises the modern division of labour. Marxist writers like Thiven Reddy posed questions on what was wrong with the conceptual model of modernisation predicting that all countries once formally independent and free from colonialism would inevitably end up looking like the advanced capitalist democracies.

Shani identifies “three different but interrelated sets of explanations help account for its failure to transform the world in the image of the West: the incommensurability of cultural value systems, the dynamism of modernity and the distorting effects of pre-modern practices which make multiple non-western modernities possible.”
