Description
In the media and in public opinion, the term "globalization" is most frequently restricted to the economic sphere. But isn’t globalization—which puts societies with different or conflicting values in close contact—primarily cultural? Will this era produce a deadly clash of civilizations? Or will peaceful confrontation at last mark the beginning of complete self-awareness in humanity, and the true birth of humankind—an animal species endowed with rationality and sociability? Gérard Leclerc investigates such issues in this compelling work.
