Overview

Moral reflection abut many fundamental social developments often remain quite marginal. Greater specialisation has tended to impair the communication between science, technology, academic philosophy, religion and ethics. The result of this tendency is that our society often lacks the critical sense to ask about the ethical importance of major governmental, industrial and economic decisions. The word globalisation bears the character of a chameleon, which takes different shapes in ever-changing contexts. On the one hand, the term refers to an economic developmental stage at which the human polis, under the influence of neo-liberal views of society is structured by the free market. On the other hand the terms refers to a cosmopolitan world citizenship in the frame of which a righteous, sustainable and democratic society is realised. Building Towers takes a multidisciplinary approach in the context of several perspectives on globalisation. The diversity of interpretations of globalisation can critically explore the kind of reality currently generated by words and deeds of people.
