Amartya Sen Critique
• Morally offensive and destructive– Simplified: Culture is much more than religion-
we are multi-dimensional.– Classification supercedes the possibility that we
chose our own identities– Stereotyping is morally gross– Classification is divisive
Amartya Sen Critique of Huntington
![Page 11: Globalization: Cliché or Explanation of Global Change? What is globalization?/How should it be conceptualized? Does contemporary globalization represent.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d165503460f949eb7aa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Politically Destructive: – If we chose our own identifications we can
make political associations based on different identities
• Pakistan/Bangladesh
• Poverty
– We also might chose to make ethical, not identity based associations
Amartya Sen Critique of Huntington

• Ignores diversity of traditions within “civilizations”– Muslims and other traditions in India
• “Western” appropriation of tolerance ignore diversity of this cultural trait
• Ignores major global interactions in science, technology, mathematics and literature over past millenia
Amartya Sen Critique of Huntington

Amartya Sen Critique of Huntington
• Far reaching effects:– Gives exaggerated commanding voice to religious
leaders
– Causes self-identification of non-western world as “the other” at the expense of freedom to chose among many identities
– Focuses on what divides v. what unites; fuels alienation
– Interferes with positive work of identifying solutions to inqualities without losing technological and economic opportunities
