Virtually every person who has ever lived has wondered if we exist, either in body, soul, or spirit, before our physical birth, and after our physical death. Virtually every religion, civilization, philosophy, and culture has answered both questions with a resounding "YES!" In fact, modern scientists have shown us overwhelming evidence that our body, soul, or spirit exists prior to our physical birth, and after our brain, heart, and lungs cease to function. Join me for an incredible journey. By understanding who we are, and how to live in the world, we will know what the world is all about, and thus live a life of happiness, health, money, and love.
The multi-cultural society is under enormous pressure. Paradoxically, the globalization plans of modernity have resulted in a more fragmented world and ensuing violence. Instead of becoming uniform, individual character and differences have become more strongly emphasized. How can people live together and at the same time preserve their differences? How can variety be valued in a theological manner? These questions form the theme of this collection that consists of three sections. The South African reflections (Simon, Louw and Koopman) that consider living in the variety of a rainbow nation are followed by European experiences of Moluccan Christians in the Netherlands (Pattikayhatu), Western Muslims (van Bommel) and the Belgian modus vivendi (Van der Borght). The collection is completed by the theological reflections about the concept communio sanctorum (Le Bruyns), the Enlightenment's ideal of equality (van de Beek) and the unity of the church (Theron).
For almost two centuries, followers of the Baha'i faith, Iran's largest religious minority, have been persecuted by the state. They have been made scapegoats for the nation's ills, branded enemies of Islam and denounced as foreign agents. Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 Baha'is have been barred from entering the nation's universities, more than two hundred have been executed, and hundreds more imprisoned and tortured. Now, however, Iran is at a turning point. A new generation has begun to question how the Baha'is have been portrayed by the government and the clergy, and called for them to be given equal rights as fellow citizens. In documenting, for the first time, the plight of this religious community in Iran since its inception, Fereydun Vahman also reveals the greater plight of a nation aspiring to develop a modern identity built on respect for diversity rather than hatred and self-deception.
Marxism and Smart Life is a compelling and thought-provoking examination of different aspects of human society. Comprised of two impressive volumes of philosophical, political, and economic thought—“Is Karl Marx Right?” and “Modern Human Smart Life”—author Nima Mazhari begins by exploring Marx’s theory of capital and analyzing its validity, especially in terms of modern society. Although once a Marxist himself, Mazhari does not shy away from examining some fatal flaws in Marx’s theory. These include Marx’s denial of the use-value of commodity for the capitalist, his insistence that a capitalist society is made up of only two classes, and most importantly, his assertion that a capitalist society cannot be made to work. In his second volume, “Modern Human Smart Life,” Mazhari assesses the components of modern society and the importance of having a realistic and genuine philosophical school of thought to guide human evolution. Even more importantly, Mazhari puts forward some implementable ideas on changes that can be made to executive, legislative, judicial, and treasurial structures and powers that will vastly improve modern society.b No matter what your philosophical background or political beliefs are, Marxism and Smart Life will challenge you to see Marxism in a new light, and leave you feeling invigorated about the possibilities for improving our modern capitalist society.
