New Book Challenges Philosophies of Marx, Hegel and Fukuyama

"Sustainable History and the Dignity of Man" by Dr Nayef Al-Rodhan offers a New Philosophy of History

Geneva, Switzerland (MMD Newswire) June xx, 2010 - - In his book "Sustainable History and the Dignity of Man", Philosopher, Geo-Strategist and Neuroscientist Dr. Nayef Al-Rodhan offers a new philosophy of history. This recently published book outlines Dr. Nayef Al-Rodhan's proposal for ensuring durable frameworks for life on this planet and the peaceful and prosperous coexistence of states and cultures.

By conceiving of a new philosophy of history, Al-Rodhan joins and challenges writers such as Marx, Hegel, Spengler, Toynbee, Braudel and Fukuyama in what drives history. Dr Nayef Al-Rodhan draws on his insights of neuroscience to advance philosophical theories of human nature and to examine its implications for politics, national and global security, inter-state relations, and the future of man.

According to Professor Michael Freeden of Oxford University, "This book is an exceptionally wide-ranging examination of past and present approaches to the securing of a qualitatively adequate social life on the planet. The need for intercultural dialogue is pressing and stated as a matter of urgency in the text. That argument is well-presented and it is helpfully accompanied by a large amount of empirical evidence. The book is also a strong and ethically attractive humanist statement about the value of human interaction that incorporates a vision of mutual respect based on a mixture of scientific arguments and normative aspirations. Those features are very impressive."

About the Sustainable History Theory:

"Sustainable History and the Dignity of Man" is a new philosophy of history. This volume outlines how sustainable history and the future of humanity is propelled by good governance, which balances the ever-present tension between the three attributes of human nature emotionality, amorality and egoisms on the one hand , and the nine human dignity needs on the other, such as reason, security, human rights, accountability, transparency, justice, opportunity, innovation and inclusiveness. The author proposes minimum criteria for good governance that are sensitive to local cultures and histories but meet certain common global values to ensure maximum and sustainable moral and political cooperation. He also advocates that in our new connected and interdependent world, all states and cultures have to succeed if humanity as a whole is to triumph.
