Are the best days of mankind coming? Publication date: 20/09/2019 Publisher: Nabu Publishing and Distribution Type: Paperback, regular cover Publisher's note: The question addressed in this debate is a very big one, of course, and like all very big questions, it extends into many branches across different intellectual, spiritual, and material fields. Asking about the future, and whether it will bring better days for humans or not, is related to science, religion, enlightenment, reason, rationality, technology, philosophy, ethics, politics, the individual, society, and the environment. Therefore, it depends on the overall perspective through which these topics are viewed collectively. As the head of the Mank Rudiard Graves debates says in his introduction, this debate, compared to those before it, involves "a strong philosophical turning point." This was an important motivation for translating this book and writing the introduction as well, in which we aimed to clarify the general theoretical foundation of the arguments presented in the debate, taking into account the intellectual and cognitive concerns and accusations of the esteemed Arab reader. One of the important features of books like this is that they present diverse, clever viewpoints on topics that many of our Arab readers might consider "settled," "obvious," or "understood." Therefore, providing non-absolute and pluralistic knowledge on topics of such importance and comprehensiveness should contribute to broadening the cognitive horizon, and it aligns with enlightenment (which necessarily involves freedom of mind and thought) and the critical spirit, which does not accept anything outright or reject it entirely in advance. This is what the reader will see in the intelligent and precise dialogues between four of the most brilliant thinkers of our contemporary world, who present their opinions with great skill and on a solid foundation of knowledge, despite their intense disagreement.
