The Birth of the Human Being:

Beyond Religious Traditionalism and Materialist Modernity

Nader Saiedi

published in Journal of Bahá'í Studies

21:1-4, pp. 1-28

Ottawa: Association for Bahá'í Studies North America, 2011

About: According to the worldview of the Bahá’í Faith we have arrived at a turning point in the evolution of human history. This turning point is primarily the moment of the birth of the human being. In this paper I will first define what I mean by “the birth of the human being” and its opposite concept, namely, the logic of dehumanization. Then I will trace the development of this idea in the Writings of the Báb, Bahá’u’lláh, and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
