Abstract

Neohumanism and global processes are described in this paper through the lens of the course on Global Citizenship taught by the author. The relationship between humanism is explored and the ongoing human project of becoming ‘global citizens’ is framed as one of expanded consciousness involving critical spirituality. Neohumanism is described as the product of intercultural dialogue. Just as Humanism has declared there is only one human family, Neohumanism declares there is only one planetary family. The current moment is one of crisis and opportunity. This is a Neohumanist moment that is at work ushering in one way of seeing the relational and spiritual possibilities of our planetary futures.

Keywords: Neohumanism. Humanism. Sarkar. Critical Spirituality. Global Citizenship.
