Cognitive injustice is a central theme, highlighting the neglect of diverse knowledge systems that shape people's lives worldwide. Boaventura de Sousa Santos argues that achieving global social justice necessitates recognizing and valuing the epistemological diversity, particularly from the global South, which has been marginalized by Western dominance. The book advocates for a bottom-up cosmopolitanism rooted in conviviality and solidarity, countering the prevailing market-driven individualism and promoting a more inclusive understanding of knowledge and existence.
