Reviews'This stunning work deserves to be read widely. Menno Boldt redefines the meaning of the good society and, in a highly informed, thoroughly argued manner, details how we humans might achieve it. I was both intellectually challenged and emotionally moved as I came to understand Boldt's vision of universal and equal human dignity through "transcendent humanity." It has forced me to rethink some of my long-held views and understandings.'--Wendell Bell, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, Yale University 'The ideas that Menno Boldt presents in A Quest for Humanityclearly reflect a lifetime's worth of work. With intriguing depth, Boldt conceptualizes human history as a millennia- long process of globalization - a term he defines in a completely novel way, using both power and knowledge terms. His narrative is also effective, telling a story without revealing its ultimate meaning to you or instructing you on how to act. You are instead left to conclude: how can I use this new understanding to behave differently?'--David Newhouse, Department of Indigenous Studies, Trent University

SynopsisIn A Quest for Humanity, Menno Boldt presents a persuasive new framework for achieving a human social order in the global age. Boldt explores the concept of 'the good society' as a world in which every person can realize their potential for humanity through liberty, social justice, and equal human dignity. A Quest for Humanity innovatively positions globalization as a deterministic phenomenon of expanding interdependence and shared knowledge -- resulting in ever-larger economic and political jurisdictions, but also creating social and psychological links between peoples across the world. Boldt challenges mainstream certainty that Western democracy and constitutional human rights are the exemplary doctrines for the global good society. With a fresh vision designed to inspire a universal acknowledgement of human dignity, A Quest for Humanity powerfully affirms the value of each human being., In A Quest for Humanity , Menno Boldt presents a persuasive new framework for achieving a human social order in the global age.
