A Quest for Humanity

Menno Boldt is a professor emeritus in the Department of Sociology at the University of Lethbridge.

With a fresh vision designed to inspire a universal acknowledgement of human dignity, A Quest for Humanity powerfully affirms the value of each human being.

'This stunning work deserves to be read widely. Menno Boldt redefines the meaning of the good society and, in a highly informed, thoroughly argued manner, details how we humans might achieve it. I was both intellectually challenged and emotionally moved as I came to understand Boldt's vision of universal and equal human dignity through "transcendent humanity." It has forced me to rethink some of my long-held views and understandings.' -- Wendell Bell, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology, Yale University 'The ideas that Menno Boldt presents in A Quest for Humanity clearly reflect a lifetime's worth of work. With intriguing depth, Boldt conceptualizes human history as a millennia- long process of globalization -- a term he defines in a completely novel way, using both power and knowledge terms. His narrative is also effective, telling a story without revealing its ultimate meaning to you or instructing you on how to act. You are instead left to conclude: how can I use this new understanding to behave differently?' -- David Newhouse, Department of Indigenous Studies, Trent University
