Has there ever been an age of humanity? Since the Renaissance, humans have I conceived of themselves as the masters of the world, but the age of humanity has not been realized. ‘Freedom and equality,’ values held to be modern and universal, seem to be too often supplanted by an exclusive universality, which is used to dominate others. Conflict and anxiety abound in every part of the world, and their mechanisms are intrinsic to modern life. Indeed, modernity appears to cast a wide and deep shadow, and it is because of this that a new form of universality capable of embracing diversity is now needed more than ever. The Global Academy for Neo-Renaissance of Kyung Hee University will hold ‘the 2006 Peace Bar Festival’ in celebration of the 25th UN International Day of Peace. Under the main theme of “Reinventing Universality for the 21st Century: Beyond Freedom and Equality,” the Festival will provide an open forum to explore a new age of humanity for peace and co-prosperity in pursuit of inclusive universality - a global common society that is spiritually Beautiful, materially Affluent, and humanly Rewarding (BAR).
