The inaugural issue honours and puts on record the great contribution of Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar—the propounder of neohumanist philosophy. A number of its articles seek to situate neohumanism; what sort of philosophy it is and what it may mean in today’s world and in future. Historian Marcus Bussey discusses the crisis of modernity and the need for human beings to draw on their deeper, timeless spiritual resources. Linguist Marco Alexandre de Oliveira views neohumanism as promoting both a reformulation and a revision of classical humanism. Educationist Kathleen Kesson deliberates neohumanism as a revolutionary philosophy of a required all-round education of the whole human being and human society. Aditya Mohanty, professor of philosophy, offers neohumanism as a panacea for the global malaise. The world-famous economist Dr. Ravi Batra discusses recent cycles of inflation, and his views on neohumanist economics are expounded in an interview. Ramesh Bjonnes expounds on the unconventional view of yoga history, drawing from the works of Shrii Sarkar.
The main theme of the forthcoming issue is climate challenges, with experts looking at sound policy, indigenous cultures, and the long cycles of climate change. Other writers look at neohumanism from a healthcare perspective, explore yogic vitality, and offer a fresh perspective on the origin of life, present transformative learning, and more.
Neohumanist Review is an international journal bringing together academic writings using the filter of the philosophy of neohumanism, focusing on the transcendental, trans-disciplinary and transformative. The journal seeks to explore a new paradigm on how the global human society can reorganise, from the local to the worldwide level, to promote the integral well-being and flourishing of all human and non-human beings. It invites multiple disciplines to address the most vexing planetary issues, such as social and economic inequality, ecological collapse, war and peace, mass migration, and technological transformations, from the joint perspective of art, science, philosophy, and spirituality. The journal is published bi-annually by Ananda Marga Gurukula in March and September on paper and electronically.
