Humanity or Sovereignty
Reviews, comments and excerpts from reviews of Humanity or Sovereignty
will be posted on this page. The book has only just come out so expect
many more reviews and comments to be posted in the coming months.
From Professor Chris Hamer,
President, World Citizens Association (Australia):
“This book boldly develops a whole new political philosophy, based on the
axiom that a legitimate political system should benefit all of humanity alike.
It takes seriously the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that ‘all human
beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights,’ and it mounts a
powerful challenge to our common preconceptions based on nationalism.
It should be read by all those interested in the progress of humanity and
the elimination of prejudice and war.”
From Professor Peter King,
International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden University (the Netherlands),
and
Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Sydney:
“In this remarkable work Lyndon Storey has re-imagined ‘community’ as a
concerned political scientist and placed the human one where it belongs—
above all the others. Combining a keen and sure grasp of both Eastern and
Western political philosophy, he makes a ‘Human Union’ sound more
realistic for the long term than a unilateralist American imperium or any
other contender for global salvation through national sovereignty. Read this
book and be persuaded that your own best instincts about an appropriate
format for the human future may be right after all.”
