The Oneness of Mankind

Radhakamal Mukerjee (Author)

Synopsis Professor Radhakamal Mukerjee, a celebrated thinker of our era, in the present work, The Oneness f Mankind, has referred to the epochal crisis both in social science and the life of modern mankind. He feels that the crisis must be resolved in order that the species may survive the threat of the third world war. For this the knowledge of man, values and culture has to be released from the grips of its present narrow frame of reference. A rethinking of the goals of the social sciences in a universal perspective become imperative. Dr. Mukerjee has denounced the compartmentalization of the social sciences and has formulated the theory of the oneness of mankind embodying a new dimension of social analysis. To Dr. Mukerjee the idea is not a utopian fancy but the faith of our age. The author has discussed the topics like the bio-psychological unity of mankind, unities and universals of culture, the economic integration and welfare of mankind and the imbalance of mankindâ€™s population and resources. As a consequence of the role of the UNO and its various agencies, there has emerged a universal structure of human relations and values irrespective of social institutions, cultural patterns and historical circumstances. Both the ancient vision of metaphysics and the modern understanding of the natural sciences reveal the unity of mankind.
