Description: The author sees the disruption of all values and the nihilism of our times as a consequence of the "abdication of philosophy from its true role", traced to the skepticism and loss of faith ushered in by modern philosophy. The epistemological crisis tht resulted led to a new concept of man, and of the State, based on moral expediency and the desire for wealth and power. Imperialism, colonialism, the exploitation of the Third World, justified by the ideology of racism, followed. In post-independent Third World countries, the issue of a just State, based on moral priciples and on the worth and dignity of all human beings , is being addressed. This book suggests the philosophical perspectives and principles upon which such a State must be built.
