Civilization, Salvation or Domination

Civilization, Salvation or Domination

Dario Lisiero

Lulu.com
2012
pokkari
It is this author's contention that the root of all man-made disasters and sufferings is the seemingly unstoppable urge of domination in man. The virus of domination infects the whole society and this global village seems unable to find a cure or an antidote. According to St. Augustine this wasn't God's original plan. God had given man dominion over all creation, animals included, but not over man. Subjection of man to man had been brought about by human sin. Augustine acknowledges the existence of the domination factor as something not only unavoidable (after the original sin) but also as something necessary. This admission of human domination and of his necessity "ratione peccati" is a real eye-opener. However controversial this assertion, the overall presence of domination will be the basic interpretational key of the present study. Only through these lenses it will be possible to make some sense of historical people that otherwise would be incomprehensible.

Civilization at the Crossroads : Social and Human Implications of the Scientific and Technological Revolution (International Arts and Sciences Press)

Civilization at the Crossroads : Social and Human Implications of the Scientific and Technological Revolution (International Arts and Sciences Press)

Radovan Richta

Routledge
2017
sidottu
This title was first published in 1968. The dynamic advance of scientific discovery in recent decades, together with the rapid development of the material base of human life, is assuming the magnitude of revolutionary changes that promise in the long run to transform the nature of civilization and open up boundless prospects for a new form of society. These considerations underscore the urgency of probing the substance of the scientific and technological revolution of our day — its social and human roots and implications. In 1965, a systematic examination of these problems was undertaken in Czechoslovakia by a research team made up of workers in various branches of science. This volume is the results of that research. Its aim was to draw, insofar as this was possible, a synthetic picture of the scientific and technological revolution against the background of the two social systems — socialism and capitalism — while also attempting to suggest ways of handling the inevitable social and human issues involved.

Civilization, Nation and Modernity in East Asia

Civilization, Nation and Modernity in East Asia

Chih-yu Shih

Routledge
2014
nidottu
This book explores the crisis of cultural identity which has assaulted Asian countries since Western countries began to have a profound impact on Asia in the nineteenth century. Confronted by Western 'civilization' and by 'modernity', Asian countries have been compelled to rethink their identity, and to consider how they should relate to Western 'civilization' and 'modernity'. The result, the author argues, has been a redefining by Asian countries of their own character as nations, and an adaptation of 'civilization' and 'modernity' to their own special conditions. Asian nations, the author contends, have thereby engaged with the West and with modernity, but on their own terms, occasionally, and in various inconsistent ways in which they could assert a sense of difference, forcing changes in the Western concept of civilization. Drawing on postmodern theory, the Kyoto School, Confucian and other traditional Asian thought, and the actual experiences of Asian countries, especially China and Japan, the author demonstrates that Asian countries’ redefining of the concept of civilization in the course of their quest for an appropriate postmodern national identity is every bit as key a part of 'the rise of Asia' as economic growth or greater international political activity.
