Synopsis

As the twenty-first century begins, the world approaches a Learning- or Knowledge-based Society, thus creating a new "era" of humankind. The Learning Society does not merely herald a new "era" or "epoch," it signals a "transformation" in a global dimension. However, never before in history have so many wars and so much violence inundated the world. However ? The world approaching a new era of humankind governed by knowledge and ruled by wisdom, and at the same time drowning in wars and violence and celebrating a renaissance of religions – do these go together ? They do.
