Genocide and community violence, the loss of ethical landmarks and
social "order," lack of confidence in the viability of the
prevailing system and economic forces: the 20th century has
painfully challenged all our certainties concerning society,
history, and humankind. This volume offers reflections on the
likely nature of the values of the 21st century and addresses
questions such as whether aesthetics will prevail over ethics,
whether the third industrial revolution and its forms of
globalization will shatter culture as we know it, hasten the
decline of thousands of languages, or give rise to new forms of
racism or "genism." This volume, the second anthology originating
from UNESCO's "Twenty-first Century Dialogues," brings together
about fifty scientists and researchers from the four corners of the
world to ponder the future of values and humanity. Contributors
include: Arjun Appadurai, Jean Baudrillard, Peter Sloterdikjk, Paul
Ricoeur, Julia Kristeva, Paul Kennedy, Jacques Derrida, Jacques
Delors, Edward O. Wilson, Nadine Gordimer, Achille Mbembe, Adalbert
Barreto, Trinh Xuan Thuan.
