What People are Saying About This
Examining the world-history of the Society of Jesus from its foundation in 1540 across three phases of globalization, The Jesuits and Globalization documents how Jesuit missions and education contributed to the rise of humanitarianism, cosmopolitanism, and the rise of human rights regimes.
"Examining the world-history of the Society of Jesus from its foundation in 1540 across three phases of globalization, The Jesuits and Globalization documents how Jesuit missions and education contributed to the rise of humanitarianism, cosmopolitanism, and the rise of human rights regimes."Bryan S. Turner, The Graduate Center CUNY and ACU (Melbourne) ,
"This interesting collection describes the remarkable historical trajectory of the Jesuit orderhow already in the sixteenth century they anticipated some of the insights we have only recently acquired about how to live in a globalized world. We understand, too, how this order has so often inspired at once great admiration and implacable hostility. The book offers a new perspective on the unfolding of world history over the last half-millennium."Charles Taylor, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, McGill University
This interesting collection describes the remarkable historical trajectory of the Jesuit order—how already in the sixteenth century they anticipated some of the insights we have only recently acquired about how to live in a globalized world. We understand, too, how this order has so often inspired at once great admiration and implacable hostility. The book offers a new perspective on the unfolding of world history over the last half-millennium.
