Produktbeschreibung
"The Single Science" has been progressively in the making for over three decades. When applying The Formative Method of Science, the author finds that the current distribution of the added value among farmers, the agro-industry, and the merchant has significantly damaged the farmers' situation. Farmers physically work harder than the agro-industry and the merchant. Which one of them manages a greater complexity? Compare farmers' risks to those assumed by the agribusiness transforming cereal into oats or flour, the merchant who sells the product, and the profits they receive. The reasons for the above are the cumulative effect of prejudices, and the root cause is blind imitation. Within The Single Science, the reader will find a suggested strategy to increase farmers' income. When addressing the farmers' situation using the Descriptive and Experimental Methods of Science, the author proposes replacing the construction industry as the economy's engine today with the potential of biodiversity to generate employment worldwide. He also suggests the latent potential of nature's kingdoms for a unifying environmental curricular proposal to empower the world's youth with science methods, starting with the farmers' daughters and sons. The author suggests that women should have a majority role in managing human affairs at the local, national, and international levels, except for the Universal House of Justice. The reasoning supporting this suggestion is that women have demonstrated to be less prone to corruption, are responsible for only 16% of crime worldwide, and are endowed with mercy, empathy, and tenderness of heart, crucial qualities to make sound choices in life. To reach gender equality, males should learn to listen to females' feelings to perceive a complementary dimension of the problematic situation. Science's value-free ideal, stripped of emotions and feelings and in conflict with religion, is considered the foundation of conventional scientific methods. We should not be surprised by the current world situation of the oppressed masses of humanity because it seems to be the obvious, expected outcome of applying the research methods by the orthodox followers of those principles. They also predominantly support the materialistic eastern and western ideologies that, in the author's view, bear a great responsibility for the degradation of the environment and human beings under their influence. Then, what is the strategy to reach a unity of thought about fundamental notions, such as what are human beings? What is science? And what is religion? That is the challenge initiated by The Single Science. In it, the reader will find notions of science and Religion joined and welded in a common conceptual framework for reading, interpreting, and transforming reality using seven science methods. 'Abdu'l-Bahá, in The Promulgation of Universal Peace, said: "Religion must stand the analysis of reason. It must agree with scientific fact and proof so that science will sanction Religion and Religion fortify science. Both are indissolubly welded and joined in reality. If statements and teachings of Religion are found to be unreasonable and contrary to science, they are outcomes of superstition and imagination." The author offers The Single Science as an option to release the human race's and other kingdoms' existing potential as a contribution to reaching the Lesser Peace.
