The central aim of this book is to counter the world threatened by violence, injustice, and inhumanity. In the form of a humanistic manifesto, the author Rainer Bischof attempts to restore the status of reason and enlightenment, which are being challenged by the ideologues of extremism. Where inhumanity becomes accepted thought, humanity, culture, and nature are endangered in their existence. Ignorance and delusion then take hold. Can a return to humanistic values and a humanistic view of humanity effectively counter the rampant inhumanity? This book seeks to explore that possibility.
