Inhalt:
"This book highlights the problem of one dimensional, reductionistic life of the modern individual. An expression of crisis in our world, it discusses the imperative need to have a more comprehensive, non-reductionist life where the Other is incorporated, especially the relationship between the Other and the Self, based on virtues like love, empathy, equality, and compassion. The volume sheds light on how the world has forgone the art of living for a mutilated sense of wellbeing; the rise of conformity and complacency in human thought; and the lack of democratic dissent and citizenry responsibility in our contemporary societies, which is now characterised by mass immaturity, propelled by a process of thoughtlessness. It discusses how humans need to be aware of the life they lead, to think about Otherness of the Other as not just another virtue but as a crucial element in the survival of humanity, for people to coexist with the world around them as equals. Further, it advocates meaningful and thoughtful existence, in touch with the Nature we co-exist with, to ensure that humanity is not robbed of its noble spirit as we live to survive in our techno-capitalist societies. An introspective read, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of moral and eitical philosophy, political philosophy, and political science"--
