These are extraordinary times. Terrorist attacks, devastating wars and religious conflicts, famine, global financial crisis and global warming afflict our planet. And “Though the world is encompassed with misery and distress, yet no man hath paused to reflect what the cause or source of that may be.” As the roots of all these problems are spiritual in nature, in this booklet we will pause to explore and reflect on some of the writings of the Bahá’í Faith in search of the causes of world turmoil and the actions needed for securing its peace.

Pages : 60
Book Description
The times in which we live are characterized by two powerful processes: disintegration and integration. Each and every person has the possibility of contributing to the process of integration. Unfortunately, many remain spectators, either because they don't know what to do, or feel that due to the magnitude of the problems facing society, their efforts would have little effect. Bahá'u'lláh has revealed teachings that give us a clear vision of the future society characterized by unity, justice, and peace that we are called to construct. The Universal House of Justice gives concrete guidance on the most effective actions we can take at this moment, calling us to participate in a world-wide program of moral and spiritual education for different age groups - children, junior youth, youth and adults - offering materials and training for everyone interested in participating in this magnificent undertaking. Those who join the effort become part of a planetary network, receiving guidance and support in their efforts to contribute to a better world. The book integrates easily-understood explanations with relevant quotes from Shoghi Effendi and Messages from the Universal House of Justice.

Ecophilosophy in a World of Crisis
Author: Roy Bhaskar
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136621555
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Building on its origins at a seminar in Oslo organized by two of the editors, this book combines classic texts of Nordic ecophilosophy and the original contributions of those influenced by this tradition to present the view that critical realism is indeed a worthy intellectual tradition to carry forward and further develop the work of the founders of Nordic ecophilosophy. It was clear at the seminar that there was a promising convergence of interests and themes in the two approaches; while at the same time, within the Nordic ecophilosophical tradition, there was appreciation of the capacity of critical realism, with its provision of a robust philosophical ontology and generation of totalizing immanent critiques of Western philosophy, to provide an expansive and secure home for the development of ecophilosophical work generally. If there is a single overarching theme of critical realist philosophy, it surely must be that of the unity of theory and practice, which Bhaskar, following Hegel, has also called "seriousness". This makes the applicability, relevance and actionability of critical realism key considerations for critical realists. There can be no doubt that this concern was shared fully by the Nordic ecophilosophers; and this quality of "seriousness" is a striking feature of the Nordic contributions presented in this book.
