How Much Globalization Can We Bear?: 9780745633893: Rüdiger Safranski

The book "Globalization: The Return of the Boundaries" by Rüdiger Safranski is a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of globalization on humanity.

This timely and lucid work delves into the ways in which globalization has led to a radical change in the human condition, forcing individuals to confront the world in its totality.

The author grapples with pressing problems of the global age, including "Big Brother" states, terrorism, international security, and the seeming impossibility of "world" peace.

Through his analysis, Safranski argues that the era of globalization should not be thought of as a time in which all human beings will see themselves in the same, indistinct situation.

Instead, there will always be a need for understanding one's own situation by drawing boundaries and conceptualizing "otherness" and individuality.

This insightful book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of globalization and its impact on human society.
