Humanism Revisited

<p> The West emancipated itself from the old humanism long ago and in doing so distanced itself from 'heteronomy': it declared that man and not a non-human power should be the first reference to approach people and nature. Today as heirs of this tradition we are still stuck in Eurocentrism (and often racism) and now even threaten to ruin nature by destroying biodiversity and causing the climate to warm up dangerously. Applied through an anthropological perspective this book calls for a NEED-humanism: Not-Eurocentric Ecological and (economically) Durable approach that can help promote inclusion and pluralism.</p>
