Schlagwort
Annotation
In civilization theory there is a mainstream narrative:
Problem: There are culturally advanced and backward classes-regions
The advanced will advance further and the backward remain backward
Remedy: Backward classes-regions adopt advanced cultures and codes
If adoptive enough the West becomes the universal civilization

This book challenges that and argues an alternative narrative:
Problem: The dominant position of the Western civilization
Reduction of diversity leads to increased world vulnerability
Remedy: Dialogue of civilizations for mutual learning of all by all
If mutual enough a diverse-symbiotic-equitable global civilization
