Riassunto

Sense generation is the primary precondition for acting and thinking meaningfully. The essays in this volume contribute to a discourse on this matter with a decentred, globalized world in mind. Civilization, humanism, and modernity—far from being exclusively Western categories—are notions that can facilitate efforts to reflect together about the universality of current human affairs, exactly because it can be done from particular cultural perspectives. Modernity presents us with a second Axial Time in which the quest for a plural, but common, human world is the stake and the challenge.
