The Secret American Destiny

Description At present religious adherents outnumber non-religious by nearly 6 to 1 and world culture is divided between traditional and modern outlooks. In each of world cultures seven disciplines there are conflicting metaphysical and secular approaches. A unified world culture is essential if there is to be a World State, and The Secret American Destiny shows how America can heal this division by reviving sciences view of the order in the universe, the experience of the common essence of all religions (the ordering Light), and the traditional view of order in each of the seven disciplines.In this accessible, thought-provoking and highly informed work, which carries forward his thinking in his widely discussed and acclaimed The Secret Founding of America and The Secret American Dream and in his studies of civilizations and cultures, Nicholas Hagger shows how Universalism, the study of the whole of humankinds activities, is in line to be the next American philosophy and how American Universalism can * challenge the secular, social approach that denies the traditional metaphysical perspective and regards the universe as an accident; * reconcile the traditional and modern approaches on their common regard for order; and * champion the prospect of world unity under a coming democratic World State based on the UN General Assembly. Hagger shows how restoring the metaphysical vision of order in Nature, the sciences and the seven disciplines will enable America to unify world culture and humankind, and fulfill Americas destiny to bring to birth a World State that will transcend all nation-states and export the American Dream of freedom and prosperity to all humankind.
