Description
"This collection of essays is a tribute to Lawrence (Larry) Taub, the American macrohistorian and author of the book The Spiritual Imperative: Sex, Age, and the Last Caste.
Taub developed a distinctive macrohistorical model that transcends a purely Western perspective and takes Asian history into account, resulting in a more holistic, global view of humanity's evolution. The book features contributions from six different authors. Jan Krikke, editor of the second edition of Taub's book, wrote a summary of Taub's macrohistory. Professor Sohail Inayatullah, Chair in Futures Studies at UNESCO, explains the distinctions between Taub's caste model and a similar model from Indian spiritual teacher R.P. Sarkar.
Bill Kelly, former lecturer in communications studies at UCLA, who wrote the foreword to Taub’s book, provides an intimate essay on Taub’s life and legacy. Also included is a review of Taub's macrohistory, written by futurist scholar Takuya Murata for the journal Futures of the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies at the University of Hawaii.
We hear Taub's own voice in an interview he gave to the P2P Foundation and in a summary of his macrohistory he presented at the 15th World Futures Study Federation (WFSF) Conference in Brisbane in 2001.
Lastly, we hear from Masanori Kanda, the Japanese business management expert who wrote the foreword to the Japanese edition of Taub's book. Mr. Kanda captures the unique personality and character of Lawrence Taub. The original 11 illustrations from The Spiritual Imperative are included in this volume."
