This book highlights the problem of one-dimensional, reductionistic
life of the modern individual. An expression of crisis in our
world, it discusses the imperative need to have a more
comprehensive, non-reductionist life where the Other is
incorporated, especially the relationship between the Other and the
Self, based on virtues like love, empathy, equality, and
compassion. The volume sheds light on how the world has forgone the
art of living for a mutilated sense of well-being, the rise of
conformity and complacency in human thought, and the lack of
democratic dissent and citizenry responsibility in our contemporary
societies, which is now characterized by mass immaturity, propelled
by a process of thoughtlessness. It discusses how humans need to be
aware of the life they lead, to think about Otherness of the Other
not just as another virtue but also as a crucial element in the
survival of humanity, for people to coexist with the world around
them as equals. Furthermore, it advocates meaningful and thoughtful
existence, in touch with the Nature we coexist with, to ensure that
humanity is not robbed of its noble spirit as we live to survive in
our techno-capitalist societies. An introspective read, this book
will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of moral and
ethical philosophy, political philosophy, and political science.
