Description

Many of the difficulties we face in life are within ourselves. It is the constant war within that exhausts so many people. If we are to make our way to higher ground, we must come to terms with the many weaknesses of the human condition. Arrogance, that sense of superiority, greed, and envy are just a few. We must reach out beyond these things to the soul of the being if we are to have any hope of finding who we are. If we make contact, we will find a spiritual space where we can thrive, where we can expand our horizons, come to terms with, except that we are just one part of nature journeying through the greater scheme of things. To accept is to be at one. It is not easy, in many ways, we are groping in the dark, not sure what we want, not sure that we want to find it. This is where humanity is stationed. For what it is worth, I believe we are part of something greater. Something beyond our human comprehension. That is what this collection of poetry is about. Reaching out to that something; that something other.

Description

Renowned moral philosopher Jonathan Glover confronts the brutal history of the twentieth century to unravel the mystery of why so many atrocities occurred. In a new preface, Glover brings the book through the post-9/11 era and into our own time—and asks whether humankind can “weaken the grip war has on us.”

Praise for the first edition:

“It is hard to imagine a more important book. Glover makes an overwhelming case for the need to understand our own inhumanity, and reduce or eliminate the ways in which it can express itself—and he then begins the task himself. Humanity is an extraordinary achievement.”—Peter Singer, Princeton University

“This is an extraordinary book: brilliant, haunting and uniquely important. Almost 40 years ago a president read a best seller and avoided a holocaust. I like to think that some of the leaders and followers of tomorrow will read Humanity.”—Steven Pinker, New York Times Book Review

Description

Writings on human life and the refugee crisis by the most important political artist of our time Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) is widely known as an artist across media: sculpture, installation, photography, performance, and architecture. He is also one of the world’s most important artist-activists and a powerful documentary filmmaker. His work and art call attention to attacks on democracy and free speech, abuses of human rights, and human displacement–often on an epic, international scale. This collection of quotations demonstrates the range of Ai Weiwei’s thinking on humanity and mass migration, issues that have occupied him for decades. Selected from articles, interviews, and conversations, Ai Weiwei’s words speak to the profound urgency of the global refugee crisis, the resilience and vulnerability of the human condition, and the role of art in providing a voice for the voiceless. Select quotations from the book: “This problem has such a long history, a human history. We are all refugees somehow, somewhere, and at some moment.” “Allowing borders to determine your thinking is incompatible with the modern era.” “Art is about aesthetics, about morals, about our beliefs in humanity. Without that there is simply no art.” “I don’t care what all people think. My work belongs to the people who have no voice.”
