'I am glad to learn about the book. The topic could hardly be more timely and important.'Noam ChomskyMassachusetts Institute of Technology, USA'This is an outstanding collection of original essays by distinguished scholars from the East, Middle East, and West. While it moves increasingly towards its theme of hope despite the global disorder of the present, it is anything but saccharine in its approach: It views the disorder, much of it born of serious past malfeasances by state actors, as very real, and it insists, from its title onwards, that transformative hope requires considerable courage under the circumstances.'William L. McBrideImmediate Past President, International Federation of Philosophical Societies (FISP)'The volume analyzes the present system of hegemonic globalization with deep insight and offers much-needed hope for resisting and possibly transforming it. As such, it issues an urgent call both for sober attention and transformative praxis.'Joseph PrabhuProfessor of Philosophy and Religion, California State University-Los Angeles, USA'The superb contributions to this volume illuminate our current global disorder comprehensively and trenchantly, from the spiritual to the material and beyond. They are imperative reading for anyone seeking a truly global understanding of today's global crises and the utter futility of unipolar solutions based on monological reasoning.'David B. IngramProfessor of Philosophy, Loyola University Chicago, USA'The editors have assembled a collection of top international scholars who analyze why we live in a world of so much violence, domination, and disorder. They propose ways to overcome that disorder and to nurture a sustainable world of greater justice and peace.'Douglas AllenProfessor of Philosophy, University of Maine, USA'The title of this remarkable collection of essays gives the lie to the oft heard phrase 'New World Order' which is in fact a form of disorder based on militarism and unipolar global hegemony on the part of the United States.... The book itself is located at the crossroads of hopelessness and hope - on the one hand with a full awareness of the grimness of our global situation, not only military, but also environmental, and on the other a determination to work for a better and more cosmopolitan future. The contributions come from a variety of disciplines and cultural backgrounds, including China, with an essay on spiritual humanism and another on Muslim ethics in an era of globalism.'David LorimerParadigm Explorer: Journal of the Scientific and Medical Network, 124 (2017/2)
