Synopsis

In our time, we require a religion, ethics, and politics adequate to confront the global crises we face. In our scientific era of "progress," we might expect to look with confidence to the "scientific" disciplines of political science, sociology, and economics to solve the problems of our civilization. We might also look to the older disciplines of religion and ethics to determine our values and to tell us what we ought to do. But the sad truth is that the dominant paradigms, methods, and conclusions of the social sciences and humanities are inadequate to this task. We need a new "politics of compassion and transformation."
