Global modernity and the challenge of building a new world
Keywords:
modernity, globality, new world orderAbstract
Many debates are centered around the concept of Modernity. Today it is not clear if what this word stands for is a singular condition or if there are instead many different Modernities. In this text I will try to make the following argument: Modernity is the name for the challenges that human beings around the planet are experiencing in their search for a world which one day could become a world for all human beings.References
