Description
Satiš Kumár clarifies Eastern wisdom for the West. He essentially states that caring for the environment (soil), striving for personal harmony (soul), and promoting human values (society) represent three essential moral pillars of our time. The book 'Soil, Soul, Society' demonstrates that a holistic approach to life stems from the ancient philosophy of Indian traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, which were revived for us by Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. Their thoughts were subsequently brought to the West by E. F. Schumacher in his book 'Small is Beautiful.' ***** To advocate for a new sustainable future, we must reform education. The essence of this transformation should be to abandon the old basic trio of 'reading, writing, and arithmetic' and focus on a new trio of 'head, heart, and hands.' 'Soil, Soul, Society' is a practical guide on how to create space for a radical yet gentle transformation of our thinking and way of life.
