GEORGES KASSABGI

WHAT GAVE YOU
THAT IDEA?
Rediscovering The Development of
Our Worldviews
by Georges Kassabgi
The author invites us to think anew about
fundamentals, assumptions, starting
points, primal nonmaterial/material inter-
actions—common to all that exists—with
due consideration of classical philosophy,
religions, and the scientific method. A
multidisciplinary study project is recom-
mended. With this essay, he connects anew these three frameworks of
thought so as to improve the outcome of discussions about some big
life challenges...in our only world.
In the follow-up "Postscripts" (2018), Kassabgi shares his exchanges
with readers including academic scholars, and debates war and peace
(with new emphasis on the nurturing of humility for all—as an ad-
dendum to the experts' peace plan) in an article presented at a U.N.-
sponsored Peace Management Award ceremony in Rome University
(November 2013).
