Against De-Development: Toward a New Social Work

Abstract

The West and the East, though different in so many ways, are going through a single, common crisis… [A]s soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it… I feel that this arrogant anthropocentrism of modern man, who is convinced he can know everything and bring everything under his control, is somewhere in the background of the present crisis It seems to me that if the world is to change for the better it must start with a change in human consciousness, in the very humanness of modern man
