“We are living in a time of world transformation. However one examines world affairs, whether from a scientific, a technological, an economic, a political, a cultural or a religious viewpoint, accelerated change is upon us and a new world is emerging. In places, this emergence follows smoothly along the lines of development established in the past: in other places, transformation is characterized by conflict between the old and the new. Revolution and evolution now march side by side through human affairs as mankind enters what many philosophers, scientists and social thinkers are calling the most significant and radical change in the human condition since the development of agriculture and civilization in the Late Stone Age.”
