Eco Principle, The

by Arthur Lyon Dahl

A correlation between science and religion, showing that the rules that govern the life of organic systems also govern social systems. This book is a co-publication between Zed Books and George Ronald.

Rooted in the Bahá'í teachings and in the scientific study of living systems, Dahl correlates the findings of science and the values and spirit of religion to produce a highly original theory that shows how the same fundamental rules and structures govern the life and death of organic and social systems. From the humble bacteria to the most highly developed nation state, systems must be able to transform themselves to meet the ever-changing challenges of their environment.

This readable book clearly demonstrates how a Bahá'í with a well-trained mind can bring together the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh with the best of scientific thought to produce an accurate analysis of the world situation as well as a stunningly creative tool to help humankind move forward into its collective adulthood.
