Modernity as an Incomplete Project: Pluralism, Comparison and Critical Traditions

This round-table panel explores philosophical discourses of modernity from pluralist and comparative perspectives, engaging critically with Jürgen Habermas’s notion of modernity as an “incomplete project.” 

Hosted by SOAS students in dialogue with Professor Ramin Jahanbegloo, the discussion draws on diverse intellectual traditions to examine how alternative frameworks challenge monistic and Eurocentric accounts of modernity. 

The panel foregrounds dialogue across traditions and generations, fostering inclusive and interdisciplinary reflection on pluralism, critique and the future of modern thought.
