Some Answered Questions:
A Philosophical Perspective
by Ian Kluge
published in Lights of Irfan, Volume 10, pages 149-274Wilmette, IL: Irfan Colloquia, 2009
Abstract:
By identifying and examining the philosophical positions explicitly and implicitly embedded in Some Answered Questions, this paper calls attention to the philosophical foundations of the Bahá’í teachings. The goal is to understand these teachings philosophically, as distinct from understanding them historically or theologically for example. The areas covered are ontology, onto-theology, epistemology, philosophical anthropology and psychology, and personal and social ethics. This paper also identifies those philosophical views with which the positions taken in Some Answered Questions have the greatest natural affinity.
