THE CONSEQUENCES OF A FRAGMENTED HUMANITY.

  • Rev Fr Peter Egbe, PhD

Resumen

The world has a global dimension today that defines so many things in the present moment. Humans travel the globe with ease and all other elements related to the person eventually even without a conscious intention move in the same propensity. Notwithstanding, it is very obvious that there are still very significant and visible differences between the industrially developed and the ‘underdeveloped’ or developing parts of the world. I always remember my experience of the disparity between the State of Israel and the Palestinian Territory. A land without any physical barrier but an overwhelming politico-economic differences which is similar to the experience with the African Continent, Europe and America. These are human experiences and they bother on our common humanity. Humanism is one way we can put in perspective all that is happening as heritage of long and probably obscured history. The curious task is that the heritage of ‘humanism’ has not been able to reconcile the differences for the good of humanity. This is a complex task dealing with a clumsy subject. 1 It is anthropological and existential. It goes to the root of being and touches meaning and purpose. This is the task of this paper.
