The old humanistic model, aiming at universalism, ecumenism, and the globalization of various Western system of values and beliefs, is no longer adequate – even if it pleads for an ever-wider inclusion of other cultural perspectives and for intercultural dialogue. In contrast, it would be wise to retain a number of its assumptions and practices – which it incidentally shares with humanistic models outside the Western world. We must mow reconsider and remap it terms of a larger, global reference frame. This anthropology does just that, thus contributing to a new field of study and practice that could be called “intercultural humanism”.
