arguing that confidence in reason and objective truth has declined in favor of what he describes as "liquid materialism," which redefines the human being as a material entity driven by pleasure and circumstances rather than as a rational and moral agent. In contrast, Triki reviews the contemporary global order as one based on domination and inequality, maintaining that globalization has contributed to exclusion, poverty, and conflict. He rejects the "clash of civilizations" thesis, arguing instead that the real crisis lies in the mechanisms by which the world is organized rather than in conflicts between cultures.
The book also addresses questions of identity in the age of globalization, emphasizing that the central challenge is achieving peaceful coexistence among diverse peoples and cultures. It concludes that the world is facing a profound crisis of values and global governance, one that requires moving beyond systems of domination and developing a new framework based on dialogue, mutual respect, and cooperation among civilizations and societies.
