| GLOBAL COMMUNICATION WITHOUT UNIVERSAL CIVILIZATION : Volume 1, Coexisting Contemporary Civilizations -- Arabo-Muslim, Bharati, Chinese & Western [Guy Ankerl; Series Editor Dr Dirk Pereboom] Some important questions are discussed in this book: Are there any civilisations other than the Western one living in our so-called Global-Age? 'Eastern civilisation'? Is the concept of East anything more than non-West? Or does there exist, in reality, a distinct Chinese, Indian, Arabo-Muslim, and Western civilisation? Is the construction of large civilisation-states such as China and India an unparalleled historical achievement? Do economic ties always eclipse other forms of affiliation such as those formed through kinship or between speech communities? What is the role of the 'Latin' and the Jewish Peoples in our Anglo-American-led Western world? Is English today the global language or merely an international one? Is the Chinese thought pattern closely related to its writing system? Is today's world one of (symmetrical) interdependence? Or rather one of hegemony? If the so-called North-South or East-West dialogue fails in constructing a universally accepted world civilisation, then what is the appropriate arrangement for reaching such a consensus within humankind? { 530pp, 140x210mm, December 2000; PB, £26.99, 2881550045:9782881550041 , INU Press } |
