Conference
The Narrative of Modernity:
Co-Existence of
Differences
Nowadays the Ethos of Individualism is regarded as a Myth
rather than an Ethos hailing from the 17th Century Scientific
Revolution and the 18th Century European Enlightenment
The Narrative of Modernity is, in a sense, the attempt
to save the idea of Individualism from its esoteric background, without
falling into moral Nihilism. The articulation of the Self in the context of
coexistence with Others is the great challenge facing the European Mind, or
simply, facing Europeans. Western civilisation has to meet the challenge of
the legend of the disappearance of the Self. For this central issue it is
imperative to rearticulate the unity of theory and practice on the one
hand, and to break down the barriers within Humanistic Studies on the
other.
