For a philosophy of flows

The work aims to answer a problem that, given its complexity, will be declined according to several questions. It takes shape from a question that guides the whole paper, namely whether it is possible to provide a philosophical foundation for the major sociological and anthropological theories that interpret the phenomenon of globalisation.In the first instance, it will be a question of supporting the theory of global flows put forward by the well-known anthropologist Arjun Appadurai. If therefore, at least theoretically, such an operation becomes possible, this same operation, in other ways - in the Wittgensteinian sense - becomes necessary. This is the assumption that motivates the entire work: to pose a question, in a completely hypothetical way, that becomes necessary to face because of its importance.
