Description
Summary:The British Historian Arnold Toynbee claims that the 'Indian way' or 'an Indian ending' is the only way of salvation for humanity. This paper attempts to show that the Indian way is essentially a spiritual and philosophical way that is both rooted and open. Taking into account the present technological and cultural revolution, including the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the author pleads for a theology that responds critically and creatively to contemporary scientific revolution. Only by progressing technologically, ethically and spiritually can we flourish as human beings.
