About this book
This book is the collaborative response of engaged scholars from diverse countries and disciplines who are disturbed by the contemporary resurgence of anti-democratic movements and regimes throughout the world. These movements have manifest in vitriolic “nationalist” polemics, state-supported violence, and exclusionary anti-immigrant policies, less than a century after the rise and fall and horrific devastations of fascism in the early 20th century.
Reviews
“Humanism, human rights, and humanitarianism have been dismissed on both the right and the left as sentimental residues of a naïvely moralistic politics that does more harm than good when applied to the real world. But when they are cynically abandoned, as has happened in our increasingly troubled times, the consequences can be dire. In this volume, an international and interdisciplinary array of distinguished scholars breathes new life into these traditions for a world that needs them now more than ever.”
(Martin Jay, Ehrman Professor of European History Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley)
“An original contribution to this increasingly important area of inquiry. The combination of perspectives ends the project a truly original outlook and approach.”
(James McLachlan, Western Carolina University)
(Sophie Loidolt, Professor of Philosophy, Chair of Practical Philosophy, Institut für Philosophie, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany)
“This book will be of value not only to political philosophers, social theorists, and ethical theorists, but also to anyone interested in questions of justice and in creating an ethical framework based humanistic cosmopolitanism.”
(David Patterson, Hillel A. Feinberg Distinguished Chair in Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas, USA)
