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 |
