Frederick W.

Eine Umwertung wird dringend gebraucht. Statt Passivitat - Aktivierung, statt Materialismus - Ideale, statt soziale Isolation - intensive Anteilnahme. Diese Forderungen haben eine besondere Bedeutung fur unser religioses Leben. Kann der Glaube viel mehr verwirklicht werden? Kann er eine Neue Welt der Zusammenarbeit und des Friedens schaffen? Ist eine grosszugige und sozial engagierte Religiositat moglich? Wir mussen viel mehr das Gemeinsame finden und versuchen, jedes Vorurteil zu uberwinden. Ein Glaube, der befreit und erweitert, ist ein Fundament fur eine schopferische Zukunft der Menschheit.

Der Autor versucht, Fundamente einer aufgeklarten Lebensweise darzustellen. Die Ideen von grossen Denkern und Erziehern wie Buddha, Konfuzius, Sokrates, Plato, Aristoteles, Ghandi und Tolstoi werden kritisch betrachtet. Das Buch betont besonders die Kunst des Lehrens. Eine dynamische Entwicklung, die weit uber die Schule hinausgeht und die eine Reform der Gesellschaft anstrebt, wird beschrieben. In diesem Werk werden die personlichen Erfahrungen und Ideen des Autors besonders betont. Auf diese Weise wird Kreativitat zum zentralen Anliegen und zu einer permanenten Herausforderung.
