Dear TOK Society Members, I am pleased to share with you a blog the TOK Executive Committee (i.e., Edward Kroger, Joe Michalski, Steve Quackenbush, Waldemar Schmidt and myself) published this morning, titled Toward an Age of Clarity: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/201903/toward-the-age-clarity Please check it out and share as broadly as possible. We think this is an important message to disseminate and get people talking about. Here is the "preface": In an ideologically-fractured culture, it is all-too-easy to lose sight of our common humanity. While there are many reasons for our collective failure to achieve consensus in the spheres of ethics and politics<https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/politics>, we believe that our current spiritual<https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/spirituality> malaise reflects, at least in part, a breakdown in our very capacity to share wisdom<https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/wisdom>. As such, we believe it is important to find ways to communicate that free us from unnecessary confusions and allow bridges to be built between refined knowledge systems and fundamental common-sense propositions. In short, if our society is to move from confusion to clarity, wisdom must be consolidated and shared in a way that fosters understanding and collective well-being. Would love to hear reactions or thoughts or hopes if people have them. Best, Gregg ___________________________________________ Gregg Henriques, Ph.D. Professor Department of Graduate Psychology 216 Johnston Hall MSC 7401 James Madison University Harrisonburg, VA 22807 (540) 568-7857 (phone) (540) 568-4747 (fax) Be that which enhances dignity and well-being with integrity.
