This volume deals with a key concept concerning the future: change. It is omnipresent and yet is often only perceived in retrospect. The book’s editor and founder of Psychological Future Management argues that we are currently experiencing the beginning of the most radical and profound change in human history. This is the right moment to analyze people’s ability to change more precisely. In this first, representative study, Germany was chosen as an example. The results serve as a basis for further psychological, sociological and prospective considerations. The Germans obviously have great resilience and problem-solving competence. At the same time, however, they are one-sidedly fixated on maintaining the economic status quo and fear negative changes in the future. Their social milieus are permeated by contradictions. The wealthy, in particular, are tied to security concerns and are therefore unwilling to experiment and take risks, two qualities without which a future in times of exponential change can hardly be managed. What could other countries and societies learn from these descriptions of the current state of one of the world’s leading countries? The entire subject revolves around this question. The psychological effects of digitization and artificial intelligence also play a role, as they put our neuronal and emotional habits under enormous pressure. How can we improve our future competence and learn to adapt new knowledge more quickly and continuously? Against this background, the phenomenon of change will be examined and discussed from various national and international perspectives.

One of the greatest of seers, an apex personality in the history of mankind who ascended to the crest of the universal forces to eliminate the poignancy of human ignorance on earth. He made a God’s Labour with great adventure to free man from the shackles of the iron rules of imposed destiny. He had to make a supreme sacrifice to change the destiny of mankind by rendering his own earthly body as a base for the descent of the highest Truth, Power, Light, Force and Consciousness onto the earth for a luminous future of mankind. He fulfilled his ultimate dream of liberating humanity from the vicious circle of ignorance and inconscience. The Saviour of mankind is none other than Sri Aurobindo, who has achieved all for humanity and charted the pathway for humanity to a delightful, glorious New World and New divine Race.... In the upheaval of humanity’s evolutionary journey, Sri Aurobindo has explored and prepared a path for mankind leading to a world of Beauty and Love. We must follow that path to find that divine life where there would be no disease, decay, death, or destruction. Life would no longer be a confusion and chaos, a struggle for basic survival; there would be no quarrels, fighting, competition; there would be no war, accidents, calamities; there would be no more selfishness, ego-eccentric attitudes, ingratitude, inhumanity, cruelty, poverty, suffering or pain; there would be no medical emergencies, heinous killing and murder, barbarism, vandalism....

Understanding Religious Conversion begins with emphasis on the value of respecting religious/theological interpretations of conversion while coordinating social scientific studies of how personal, social, and cultural issues are relevant to the human transformational process. It encourages us to bring together the perspectives of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and religious studies into critical and mutually-informing conversation for establishing a richer and more accurate perception of the complex phenomenon of religious conversion. The case of St. Augustine's conversion experience superbly illustrates the complicated and multidimensional process of religious change. By critically extending the contributions of the literature within Lewis Rambo's interdisciplinary framework, Dong Young Kim presents a more integrated picture of how personal, social, cultural, and religious/theological components interact with one another in the process of Augustine's conversion. In doing so, he has struggled with how to relocate more effectively and practically the conversion narrative of Augustine within the context of pastoral care and ministry (and the field of the academy)--in order to facilitate a better understanding of the conversion stories of the church members as well as to enhance the experiences of religious conversion within the Christian community.

Drawing on methods from religious studies, philosophy, and cognitive science, Jack Williams develops a unique and interdisciplinary approach to the study of religious conversion. This is the first major philosophical study of conversion to treat the phenomenon as a long-term process, shaped by the convert's embodiment and immersion in a linguistic, social, and ritual community. Williams' analysis of the conversion process is rooted in a view of cognition as both embodied and affective, and is informed by the latest research in phenomenology, affect theory, neuroscience, and enactivist cognitive science. In conversation with diverse conversion narratives, he advances a theory of conversion that is not restricted to a modern, Western context but that can be applied to experiences of conversion across global history and culture. Rethinking Religious Conversion displays an original approach to the philosophical study of diverse religious practices. By bringing together a diverse array of contemporary and historical scholarship, it revitalizes the study of conversion for both philosophy and religious studies.
