We live at a time when the foundations of belief and faith are shaken; when attachment to a materialistic way of life is almost universally prized and pursued; and when the anthems of compassion, care, and love are silenced by cries of self-interest, self-protection, and fear and hatred of 'others'. It is increasingly evident to those who are not seduced by the prevailing materialistic way of life, that materialism, like a cancerous malady, will eventually destroy the very civilization it has labored to create. Equally ominous is the rise of religious fundamentalism and militarism that has skewed the foundations of religion, misrepresented its fundamental objectives, and misapplied its considerable powers over the masses of humanity. It is evident that neither materialistic science nor unstudied religiosity will be able to correct the ills of an afflicted humanity. This book invites you to investigate issues of faith and reason, and material and spiritual from the unique perspectives of the unity-based teachings of the newest world religion-the Bahá'í Faith-and consider its profound implications for your personal, family, and community life.

Fever in the World of the Mind presents an integrated formulation of violence, taking into consideration its biological, psychological, social, and spiritual roots. The author, Dr. H.B. Danesh, President of the International Education for Peace Institute, draws from his work over four decades as a university professor, psychiatrist, and peace educator, as well as from his research and writings on the psychology of spirituality. He brings his wide-ranging knowledge and expertise together and presents them in an integrated formulation on how to understand and prevent violence. The book outlines some of the unique dimensions of human violence. In doing so it departs significantly from the current broadly held views that human violence and animal violence are fundamentally the same, both shaped and replenished primarily by the biological and evolutionary forces. Fever in the World of the Mind is the sixth volume in the Education for Peace Integrative Curriculum Series.
