About this eBook

Author ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, 1844-1921
Title Foundations of World Unity
Summary "Foundations of World Unity" by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá is a philosophical work written in the early 20th century. The text emphasizes the need for global unity, peace, and cooperation based on the spiritual and ethical teachings derived from various religious traditions. The work serves as a call for humanity to recognize its interconnectedness and work towards a harmonious society free from racial, religious, and national prejudices. The opening of the book introduces the pressing issue of Universal Peace, emphasizing that it cannot be achieved without a unity of consciousness among humanity. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá reflects on the historical context of conflict and division, arguing that true peace requires abandoning outdated dogmas and prejudices, while embracing the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, which promote the oneness of humanity and moral upliftment. He outlines various teachings that support the establishment of peace, such as the importance of independent investigation of truth, gender equality, and the necessity of universal education. This introduction sets the stage for a profound exploration of how the principles of love, cooperation, and unity can lead to a reinvigorated understanding of what it means to be human.
