ABOUT
The Will-to-Good: Rethinking International Relationships.
Today our world faces the convergence of multiple interconnected crises, the intensity of which has led to a worldwide recognition of the need for fundamental changes to institutions of national and global governance. Alongside the immediate material need which such crises highlight, the strong will and desire for a more just and moral world—more alive today than ever—is having an intensifying effect and drawing into question the principles and values which underly our political, economic, and social order. While the material causes of conflict, war, and social ill are today well understood, the deficit of values and principles which govern our institutions must now be addressed.
These principles and values have to do fundamentally with relationships and with the good of the whole and all its parts. They are spiritual in the most universal sense, for they have to do with the freedom, manifestation, and fullest expression of not only the individual human spirit, but the very soul of humanity itself.
This year’s seminar looks at these principles of universal good and the fast-awakening will to human betterment in the context of international relationships. It asks, among other things: How can the will to good be activated, strengthened and brought to bear to fulfill the spiritual necessity expressed by our conflicted world?
