A Journal for Social and Spiritual Awakening

email: Renaissance Universal
As its name implies, New
Renaissance, hopes to inspire a creative burst of energy which will help humanity
surmount its present global crisis. New Renaissance thus highlights the writings of
people with a positive approach towards contemporary problems.
In an age
of increasing economic disparity New Renaissance promotes ideas
and programmes which will lead to a decentralised, cooperative and
democratic economic system, and advocates a new humanism in which our
concern is expanded to include all living beings.
Science and the arts are
presented from the perspective of restoring them to their benevolent roles of serving true
human needs.
"When human caring expands and
embraces all living beings and even the entire inanimate universe, ordinary humanism
becomes neo-humanism. Neo-humanism provides a philosophical basis for building a new era
of ecological balance, planetary citizenship and cosmic kinship."
| The Aspen Institute is a global forum
that convenes leaders from diverse disciplines to address critical issues that confront
societies, organizations, and individuals. Utilizing the rigorous discipline of informed
dialogue and inquiry, the Institute's seminar and policy programs enhance the
participants' ability to think clearly about such issues, mindful of the primacy of the
moral perspective and the importance of differing viewpoints.
