With historical-critical analysis and dialogical even-handedness,
the essays of this book re-assess the life and legacy of Swami
Vivekananda, forged at a time of colonial suppression, from the
vantage point of socially-engaged religion at a time of global
dislocations and international inequities. Due to the complexity of
Vivekananda as a historical figure on the cusp of late modernity
with its vast transformations, few works offer a contemporary,
multi-vocal, nuanced, academic examination of his liberative vision
and legacy in the way that this volume does. It brings together
North American, European, British, and Indian scholars associated
with a broad array of humanistic disciplines towards
critical-constructive, contextually-sensitive reflections on one of
the most important thinkers and theologians of the modern era.
This book examines the historical development of global ethics in
practice since WWII, looking at its philosophical and historical
significance, and the contemporary challenges it faces. Discover
how global rights practitioners have: Collaborated to draft codes
like the Geneva Conventions and Universal Declaration of Human
Rights Cooperated to establish and work thorough organisations like
the World Meteorological Society, the International Atomic Energy
Agency, Amnesty International and the Parliament of World Religions
to address serious global crises Fostered dialogue, respectful of
cultural differences, and committed to care for the earth and its
inhabitants.
