Abstract	In this article, Amín Egea looks at how 'Abdu’l-Bahá’s analysis of the crises of His time was profoundly distinct from contemporaneous “progressive” movements and thinkers. “'Abdu’l-Bahá’s warnings about the causes of war could not be understood by societies immersed in paradigms of thought totally different from the ones He presented,” writes the author. “And just as the meanings and diagnoses of the causes of war differed between those provided by 'Abdu’l-Bahá and the dominant discourses of the time, so did proposals for the establishment of peace.” The article also explores three ways that 'Abdu’l-Bahá addressed the crises He foresaw.
