The poetry in this section is concerned with various aspects of philosophy in the western tradition and Bahá'í philosophy in particular. The concept of the manifestation of God is pivotal to Bahá'í philosophy and to this poetry.
Notes
My general approach to philosophy is one that places it within an essentially interdisciplinary and relativistic context. Readers will find in the poems which follow, then, a mix of content that covers a very wide field from the social sciences and humanities, life and personal experience blended, when appropriate, into a philosophical context. I am also indebted to those Bahá'ís who have ventured forth into the field of philosophy with their initial explorations, explorations on which I have drawn from time to time.
