Invention of Humanity - Equality and Cultural Difference in World History

Info autore

Siep Stuurman is Emeritus Professor of the History of Ideas at Utrecht University, The Netherlands.

Riassunto

For much of history, strangers were seen as barbarians, seldom as fellow human beings. The notion of common humanity had to be invented. Drawing on global thinkers, Siep Stuurman traces ideas of equality and difference across continents and civilizations, from antiquity to present-day debates about human rights and the “clash of civilizations.”
