Abstract

The notion of globalization is used in different contexts and in different meanings; the notion mixes fact and fiction – existent and non-existent. The notion of globalization refers to, for example, economic, political and cultural processes which exceed nation-state borders. There is no philosophical, i.e. conceptual foundation of globalization. Western philosophical metanarratives are interpreted locally; there is no global interpretation of the metanarratives. Etymologically, ‘understanding’ means standing between differences, for example, between fact and fiction. Logic of expertise is logic of standing between hopes and reality – between non-existent and existent. The logic of expertise is a general theory of realizing. As a truly general theory, the logic of expertise is boundary-crossing-global. Therefore, logic of expertise formulates a foundation of a philosophy of globalization
