Getting on with enlightenment
the necessity of a secular non-dogmatic spirituality
pp. 187-207
Abstract
Emphasizing thinking from a holistic point of view, it is argued that many world problems will be difficult to solve without involving spirituality. Issues such as the current crisis of meaning and the danger of fundamentalism, climate change and the energy crisis, the threat of peace and the peace between religions, the problem of poverty and the justice in distribution of wealth, the production of scientific knowledge that supports life and the problem of how the scientific processes is steered, the importance of values and the problem of non-commitment, and the problem of splitting and the unity of the world are discussed within this framework.
