ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. Humans must collaborate consciously to bring about the New Enlightenment for enhancing sound human values, appropriate human development and humanities-oriented global solidarity as well as for enriching diverse Cultures. Also, they must consciously promote the New Enlightenment to support the general human ethos of sound, active and fruitful longevity as well as the sociocultural ethos of harmony, integrity, continuity, solidarity and mutuality. Further, one must consciously collaborate for the New Enlightenment to free all humans from the shackles of market fundamentalism. The process of restoring and enriching the diverse Cultures, however, inevitably requires the paradigm shift that necessitates untiring, perpetual and collaborative endeavors among all people and societies. The value-added expansion that entails Balanced Socioeconomic Development, propelling synchronously human development and Cultural enrichment, may naturally reinforce the society-general future orientation, to start a new spiral virtuous circle.
