Book excerpt: “Love has no gender - compassion has no religion - character has no race.” After giving the world three distinct works on humanism, one of twenty-first century’s most influential thinkers Abhijit Naskar rises with his fourth humanizing work of egalitarianism, in the Humanism Series. Here once again in his philosophical hands Biological Sciences come to the termination of the society’s primeval prejudice against Homosexuality. Following the line of his previous three books entitled Principia Humanitas, We Are All Black and The Bengal Tigress, the current book reinforces the global vision of rational thinking and one humanity in the psyche of the civilized society. “Either Civilized or Phobic” is a beautiful treatise on human sexuality with the focus being on homosexuality. Here Naskar enables us to delve deep into the neural realm of the human mind, to get acquainted with the development of the neurological circuits that shape a person’s sexual identity. He reveals to us in his unique philosophical manner, how all the stigmas attached to same sex orientation are mere social constructs driven by ignorance and prejudice. Naskar calls upon the conscientious humans to rise against the evils of human character and reshape the norms of the society with nothing but humanism in their heart.
