A conversation from 20 years ago, piercing through today

Although the interview took place in 2003, its contents are surprisingly prescient about today's reality.
Issues that were once "future predictions"—such as the ethical confusion brought about by scientific and technological advancements, the collapse of the climate system, and the limitations of the US-centered international order—are now headlines.
Twenty years ago, before smartphones even existed, two intellectuals warned of this crisis and proposed solutions: human-centered inner innovation and a sense of international responsibility.
The editor emphasized, “This book is not a record of the past, but a practical guide to reading now.”

Society begins with human change.

"East and West: Looking Together" goes beyond social discourse and encourages deep reflection on self-transformation and responsibility for a better society.
“It will be too late tomorrow.
“We must do something today.” The book opens with these urgent words from Dr. Hochleitner.
The two thinkers ask:
How is a sustainable society created? What qualities should responsible leaders possess? How does education transform people and spur society? Through the concept of "human revolution," this book conveys the message that fundamental transformation of social structure ultimately begins with people.

A Guide to Reflection and Practice, Read First Around the World

"Looking at the East and West Together" has been translated and published in various languages ​​around the world, including Japanese, English, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Malay, and is already widely read by people around the world concerned about a sustainable future.
This book is a guide to reflection and practice that demonstrates how a change in one person's consciousness can bring about change across society.
This book provides insight and motivation for action to readers of all generations and fields, including citizens, educators, policymakers, and young people.
