“A Better Path”
Prof. Kamran Mofid*
Abstract:
"The current global crises are not only economic but also spiritual and moral. Therefore, we should not consider tackling the socio-economic and ecological crises without firstly taking into account the moral and spiritual shortcomings that are afflicting the world today. Without the urgent transformation of our socio-economic and political systems, our species and our planet face catastrophe. What is first needed is truer and deeper understanding of our essential kinship with nature and all living things. This, in turn will allow justice and dignity to flourish and pave the way for the development of a sustainable path to a brighter future.”- Details
