Karl Jaspers German Historian The Origin and Goal of History “[The axis of history] is to be found in the period around 500 B.C.…Man, as we know him today, came into being…” “In this age were born the fundamental categories within which we still think today, and the beginnings of the world religions…”
Karen Armstrong, ‘The Great Transformation’. “As far as these sages were concerned, respect for the sacred rights of all human beings – not orthodox belief – was religion. If people behaved with kindness and generosity to their fellows, they could save the world…. We need to rediscover this ethos. We must learn to live and behave as though people in countries remote from our own are as important as ourselves.
