The flagship program of the National Humanities Institute is the multi-disciplinary humanities journal HUMANITAS. The
journal seeks to foster among its readers and contributors a spirit of
open inquiry, a willingness to subject cherished doctrines to challenge
and look beyond conventional categories of thought. HUMANITAS explores
issues of moral and social philosophy, epistemology, and aesthetics,
and
the relations among them, such as the moral and cultural conditions of
knowledge. Favorable to an historical understanding of life, HUMANITAS
explores the simultaneous tension and union between universality and
particularity,
and the interdependence and opposition of creativity and tradition.
Fruitful
new thinking will resist reductionism and will, for example,
distinguish
between contrasting strains within modernity and postmodernity.
