The Life and Legacy of Daniel C. Jordan: Musician, Philosopher, Psychologist, Educator

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book highlights Daniel C. Jordan's life and provides an overview of the Bahá'í Faith, which is essential to grasp to understand his quest to create an educational system to empower men to overcome challenges.

The author presents thirteen articles Jordan wrote on topics such as the Bahá'í solution, the cause of poverty, and the psycho-spiritual approach to self-actualization. Other articles address the breakdown of civilization and a new educational model for creating a new race of men.

He also examines Jordan's growth, revealing how he became an atheist at age sixteen. Jordan then began reading challenging literature, such as David Hume's A Treatise on Human Nature, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and Bertrand Russell's Why I'm Not a Christian.

Fortunately, he did not remain an atheist for long. In 1950, at age eighteen, he matriculated to the University of Wyoming in Laramie, where he met Charlotte Gillen, who was studying international relations. Jordan was struck by this "extraordinary woman" who introduced him to a book written by the Bahá'í Prophet Bahá'u'lláh titled The Hidden Words.
