摘要:We’ve arrived at a moment in history where humanist thought,or more exactly the humanist endeavour,must again migrate from bookish realms of detached abstraction to a place where it will act as arbiter and advocate in the substantive arena of everyday life and human interaction. Humanism must once more find ways to be critically relevant in the course of human events,much in the manner of XIV century Italians and of d’Alembert and Diderot in the XVIII century. Like them,humanists must again find a way to cross the bridge that unites intellective with substantial,helping find ways to change our lives and alter the terrifying direction that our species’ journey has taken.
