"Civilisation is a term used to describe a superior level of accomplishments of certain nations... We humans are the cause of hazards to our existence created by overpopulation and environmental degradation. We are the designers of an economy that favours the well-to-do to the detriment of the disadvantaged. We are the contrivers of religious systems, some of which are responsible for crimes committed by humans against humans, and last but not least, we are the instigators of mass slaughters resulting from wars fought in anger... These acts bode ill for civilisation... Humanity nevertheless possesses the capacity to free itself from some of the burdens imposed by the natural order. We must discover that our welfare depends on the rejection of the natural order, so as to be freed from the struggle for the survival of the fittest, an order totally in conflict with morality... For the aims of morality are antithetical to nature's imposed scheme of things, reflecting the conflict between our aims and nature's designs..." -- From the Introduction.

This book examines the social relevance of philosophy as this problem is posed in the contemporary Modernism-Postmodernism debate. Manuel P. Arriaga critically investigates the two sides of the debate in their various presuppositions and their equally diverse ramifications in fields ranging from political theory, philosophy of religion, and theory of knowledge, among others. Making use of the problematic of social justice as touchstone in threshing out the issue and aided particularly by the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, Arriaga then presents a view of the social relevance of philosophy that incorporates the good points of the opposing camps of the debate. The Modernist-Postmodernist Quarrel on Philosophy and Justice will interest anyone wishing to ask about the social relevance of what philosophers do.
