 | The Calling of Global Responsibility: New Initiatives in Justice, Dialogues and Planetary Realizations Subjects: Humanities; Law; Politics & International Relations; Philosophy; Religion; International Law - Law; Jurisprudence & General Issues; Legal Theory; Political Philosophy; Political Behavior and Participation; International Relations; International Law; Social Movements; Law & Society; This book rethinks and transforms the current discourse on globalization and global justice. It expands the idea of globalization from an economic or corporate context to mean humanization and planetary realizations -- moving beyond the boundaries of nation-states and other human-made demarcations. The author challenges the notion of human primacy and makes a fervent call to reconfigure the paradigm of anthropocentrism. Through a careful study of movements for justice and inter-faith dialogue from across the world, the book makes a unique contribution to the emerging study of global responsibility. It also helps us overcome our current civilizational crises and cultivate a new civilization of planetary care and co-responsibility.
Part of the Ethics, Human Rights and Global Political Thought series, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of law and society, especially social movements, political theory and philosophy. Ananta Kumar Giri is a Professor at the Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai, India. |
