Dr. Glen Martin

Courses I regularly teach are Ethics and Society (PHIL 112), Origins of Philosophy (PHIL 114), Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy (PHIL 201), Philosophy of Religion (PHIL 350), Philosophy of Language (PHIL 370), and possibly soon Philosophy of Law. My research and scholarly interests (and passions) continue in the same path that was articulated in my 2005 book Millennium Dawn and developed in my 2008 book Ascent to Freedom.  These interests involve the problem of the transformation of human existence from planetary immaturity and our present suicidal behavior to planetary maturity under rational economic, political, and spiritual principles.   My new book that should be out in 2009 is entitled Planetary Democracy and Human Maturity: The Holistic Dynamic of Spirituality, Nonviolence, Democratic Economics, and Earth Federation. It focuses on the nature of authentic democracy, spirituality, nonviolence and other aspects of the human ascent to maturity, and links maturity with a global social order of peace with justice.
