In our globalized world, differing conceptions of human nature
and human values raise questions as to whether universal and
partisan claims and perspectives can be reconciled, whether
interreligious and intercultural conversations can help build human
community, and whether a pluralistic ethos can transcend
uncompromising notions as to what is true, good, and just. In this
volume, world-class scholars from religious studies, the
humanities, and the social sciences explore what it means to be
human through a multiplicity of lives in time and place as
different as fourth-century BCE China and the world of an Alzheimer
patient today. Refusing the binary, these essays go beyond
description to theories of aging and acceptance, ethics in
caregiving, and the role of ritual in healing the inevitable divide
between the human and the ideal.
