Knygoje analizuojamas globalizacijos žengimas per pasaulį, jos teigiamybės ii neigiamybės, laimėjimai ir grėsmės, problemos, ypač svarbios Lietuvos visuomenei. Įvairių sričių mokslininkai svarsto taikos, saugumo, tvarios plėtros problemas. Monografija pradedama apmąstymais apie kultūrą, kuri būtų palanki taikai pasaulyje. Gilinamasi į ekonominio fundamentalizmo pavojus: žinių ir mokslo likimą naujųjų informacinių technologijų erdvėje; visuomenės savimonės ugdymą globali-zuojamoje visuomenėje: kultūrinės įvairovės ir tautinio tapatumo išsaugojimą kosmopolitizmo grėsmių akivaizdoje. Knygos autoriai pateikia ne vien informaciją, bet kelia klausimus ir siūlo jų sprendimo būdus.
This monograph represents problems, related to the challenges of globalization, the knowledge-based society, the polylogue of cultures, the relationship between tolerance and civic awareness. The authors searched for the philosophical foundations of culture of peace and consider the importance of a scientific approach for solving contemporary problems in the process of the fast globalization. The book analyses the future of the nations in the global society, danger of globalization and identity of cultures, the impact of the information technologies to the global culture, the limits of tolerance, peaceful international coexistence and culture of peace as the basis of a new paradigm of thinking as well. Culture needs only peace is the phrase that ran through many of the considerations. The world needs global peace because the time has come to choose life rather than to fight for life. Questions are inquired in the book how to progress from the culture of war currently thriving around the world to a culture of peace. It is reflected whether war is universality, a universal law. Is man biologically condemned to battle? If ,,wars begin in the minds of men", as stated in the preamble of the UNESCO Constitution, it is in the minds of men that a culture of peace can begin. If you want peace, create peace. The price of war is high, but mankind is used to paying this price. The price of peace is also high, yet nobody wants to pay or even to know what it is. So a model for a culture of peace should be designed first of all. And this is the job for scientists.
