Book Hero thinking about your next read

If we want to understand and shape a rapidly changing world, we need future-oriented humanities and value-driven research.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

What role can the humanities play in shaping our common future? What are the values that guide us in the 21st century? How can we unleash the potential the humanities offer in a time of multiple crises?

This volume tackles some of these fundamental questions, acknowledging and developing the changing role of academic discourse in a turbulent world. This timely book argues that the humanities engender conceptual tools that are capable of reconciling theory and practice.

In a bold move, we call for the humanities to reach beyond the confines of universities and engage in the most urgent debates facing humanity today, in a multidisciplinary, transformative, and constructive way. Towards a New Enlightenment - The Case for Future-Oriented Humanities is a blueprint for how societal change can be inclusive and equitable for the good of humans and non-humans alike.
