In this age of globalization, societies and people across the world are asking themselves the same questions about modernity: where are we going ? How did we get to this point ? What is the power of knowledge today in the evolution of societies ? What is the role and meaning of science and technology, and of philosophy and the humanities in general? Modernity today no longer belongs exclusively to the West.
It has become a global issue. Modernity results from a change in the conception, rote and organization of knowledge in society.
