New Humanism: On the Path to a Humane Social System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783938104002)

The purpose of this contribution to discussion is to draw the attention of our readers to the adversities and problems which make life difficult for people and prevent them from being happy. But what is life and its true fulfillment? There are certainly many answers to this question. A brief summary of our answers will help you better understand the text to follow: For us the fulfillment of man's existence is achieved by consciously and modestly living in joy and love with a spirit of solidarity in the community and in harmony with nature! What is the main obstacle to putting into practice this, in itself, simple maxim for living a fulfilled life? It is the vulnerability of the capitalistic culture - a value system burdened by the hereditary scorn of humanity and hostility towards nature governing individuals as well as societies, not even hesitating to deprive capital, which is the result of useful work, of its productive and beneficial performance. Our primary objective is put the capitalistic culture up for discussion at all social levels - regardless of race, nationality, creed, or other cultural or social differences - regionally and globally. We hope that as a part of an era of the second Enlightenment intellectual currents as well as practical movements marked by new ways of living will result from this lively global analysis. Our hope is that this will serve as a germinating power for a peaceful transformation of existing relationships into a true Humane Social System. Our value concepts, ideals, and visions are depicted here under the term New Humanism. However, we, the New Humanists, do not consider this an ideology which is striving for power. It is rather an edifice of knowledge and wisdom from all peoples, open on all sides always ready to develop and able to grasp. Mohammed Djassemi Bahram Jassemi
