Produktinformationen zu „After Terror (ePub)“
After Terror presents sustained reflections by some of the world's
most celebrated thinkers on the most pressing question of our time:
how can we find ways to defuse the ticking bombs of terrorism and
excessive interventions against it? It offers an antidote to the
fatalistic global holy war perspective that afflicts much
contemporary thought, focusing instead on the principles, issues,
and acts needed to shift course from alienation and conflict to a
path of sanity and goodwill among cultures and civilizations.
The central aim of the book is to advance contemporary thinking
on the causes and implications of 9/11 and thus provide the
essential elements of a blueprint for humanity. It features 28
original essays by some of the world's leading public figures,
scholars, and religious leaders, including Benjamin Barber,
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Amitai Etzioni, Bernard
Lewis, Martin Marty, Queen Noor, Joseph Nye, Judea Pearl, Jonathan
Sacks, Ravi Shankar, Bishop Desmond Tutu, E.O. Wilson and James D.
Wolfensohn.
After Terror attests to the power of dialogue and mutual
understanding and the possibility of tolerance, respect,
cooperation, and commitment. Without ignoring the dangers of the
modern world, it points to a future in which people can celebrate
both the fundamental sentiments and interests that we share and the
diversities that make us human.
