Rethinking humanity as a concept in our age of globalization and
its relevance to the social and political reality of our times are
the topic of this book. It calls for the reclaiming of humanism as
an effective response to the conflict, turmoil, and violence we
witness in the world today. Concepts of humanity and humanism have
become suspect of naivete at best, and guilty of bad faith and
repressive ideologies at worst. Yet, hope for improvement is
incorrigibly human; the concept of humanity still holds enormous
attraction to intellectuals and humanistic scholars. At the same
time, it is important to realize that the critique of humanism is
very much based on - and limited to - Western social and historical
experience. To re-conceptualize humanity and humanism from a truly
global perspective will help in relclaiming a more inclusive kind
of humanism. In this sense, a cross-cultural perspective is
important for reclaiming humanism in our age of globalization. The
present volume is the result of such an effort. The diversity of
the authors views speaks eloquently to the complexity of the
concept of humanity or what constitutes the distinctly human, and
therefore the necessity to have an in-depth dialogue on the fate of
humanity.
