Scholars have become increasingly interested in philosopher Karl Jaspers’ thesis that a spiritual revolution in consciousness during the first millennium BCE decisively shaped world history. Axial ideas of transcendence develop into ideologies for world religions and civilizations, in turn coalescing into a Eurasian world-system that spreads globally to become the foundation of our contemporary world. Alongside ideas and ideologies, the Axial Age also taught spiritual practices critically resisting the new scale of civilizational power: in small counter-cultural communities on the margins of society, they turn our conscious focus inward to transform ourselves and overcome the destructive potentials within human nature. Axial spiritualities offer humanity a practical wisdom, a profound psychology, and deep hope: to transform despair into resilience, helping us face with courage the ecological and political challenges confronting us today.Psychology and religionPsychologySpiritualityPhilosophyReligion and Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y46000History of Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y28000Spiritualityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A9000History of Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000Psychology and religion.Psychology.Spirituality.Philosophy.Religion and Psychology.History of Psychology.Spirituality.History of Philosophy.179.7141.3Peet Christopherauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1029819BOOK9910337660703321Practicing Transcendence2446417UNINA
