Description
In these turbulent
times when wars, religious strife, stifling bureaucracy and urban
decay threaten our very humanity, reducing us to social statistics,
a fresh approach to the creation of a truly viable society is desperately
needed.
In this intellectual
tour de force Swami Kriyananda analyzes with deep insight the views
expressed by many of the great thinkers in the West, including Plato,
Copernicus, Machiavelli, Malthus, Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, Karl
Marx, and Sigmund Freud. He studies their conceptions and misconceptions
about the individual's relation to himself and to society. He shows
where their influence has proved adverse, then offers deeply considered,
fresh alternatives. Walters urges the reader to resist the hypnosis
of "intellectual authority." Seek the key to a happy and
fulfilled life, he says, in personal integrity.
In his last
chapter he draws on his own experience in developing cooperative
communities. He describes how they can encourage a commonsense way
of life, deepen human relationships, and inspire people to fulfill
their own higher potentials. Hope for a Better World! offers compelling
solutions to many of the challenges that face humanity today. Indeed,
it succeeds -- originally and excitingly -- in offering real hope
for a better world.
