Beyond States - Powers Peoples...

Anthony Pagden

Today, the majority of the peoples of the planet live in nation-states, based upon the idea, if never the reality, of a single people, a single culture, a single rule of law, and a single source of sovereign authority. But will they continue to do so in the future? 
 
 
 
None of the major challenges that confront humanity today—from climate change to disease, from terrorism to mass migration—can be handled effectively by single nation-states, no matter how powerful. The world is no longer made up only of states but also of an ever-increasing multitude of interstate networks and organizations which recognize no borders. We are beginning to be able to imagine the very real possibility of a new global civil society. But what political form should this take? 
 
 
 
By examining the history of the evolution of human society from the world's first empires to today's world of interstate networks, this book argues that there now exists the possibility of the emergence of a new political form, a global 'federation of federations', that will bring the species closer to the possibility of a more harmonious, equitable, and secure future.

Nhien Vuong

A guide to your spiritual journey of transformation using the Enneagram.   “The Enneagram of the Soul invites us on a journey of profound self-discovery.” —from the foreword by Russ Hudson, bestselling coauthor of The Wisdom of the Enneagram  The Enneagram of the Soul is inspired by over two decades of inner and outer work with the Enneagram by leading expert Nhien Vuong. Nhien provides a path to wholeness for the self, enabling the reader to be steered gently yet firmly away from the trap of solely identifying with their personality type, so they can live more fully from their divine nature.   This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 shares nine Enneagram-informed principles that guide one’s journey of transformation using the Enneagram, nine contemplative practices to propel and support the transformational process, and nine prayers to lend heart to the journey. Part 2 offers forty activations, which consist of very brief questions, reminders, or practices on forty different themes customized for each of the nine Enneagram personality types. When we begin to access the wholeness of all nine Enneagram energies working in concert, we experience a greater sense of inner peace, purpose, and fulfillment.   “An important and uniquely useful contribution to the Enneagram literature in that she provides a pathway for the types, built around practices and principles.” —Beatrice Chestnut, author of The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up
