Is there a way of being human that could invite people away from today's models of violence and consumerism? Looking forward to a new, increasingly creolized century, in 1997 the Martinican poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant asked, 'Do we have the right and the means to live another dimension of humanity? But how?'
Building on the defense of human rights he outlined in Choose Your Bearing, Benjamin P. Davis traces figures of 'the human' and 'humanity' in W. E. B. Du Bois, Édouard Glissant, Sylvia Wynter and Edward Said. He concludes with a reflection on Hannah Arendt's post-war correspondence with Karl Jaspers, which offers lessons for a new humanism as we witness ongoing wars today.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Edinburgh University PressISBN-13:9781399548588ISBN-10:1399548581UPC:9781399548588Book Category:PhilosophyBook Subcategory:Ethics & Moral Philosophy, Political, SocialSize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.69 inchesWeight:1.0406Product ID:SCHNPZHB05
