Depending upon their epistemological foundations philosophical systems can be divided into fie types: empiricist (Locke), rationalist (Descartes), intuitivist (Bergson), traditionalist (Confucius), and scriptural (Aquinas). In the history of philosophy there were five major waves of scriptural reasoning- Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. In this context Baha'i philosophy represents the sixth wave, and it finds itself in a fruitful dialogue not only with the traditional forms of religious philosophy but also with modern Western through which is based solely on reason and empirical observation.

In this collection the reader will find articles on various aspects of Baha'i philosophy - philosophical anthropology, philosophy of science, philosophy of culture, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, comparative and political philosophy, and finally, history of philosophy. The authors of those articles- Baha'i and non-Baha'i scholars- reflect global aspirations of this religious by representing diverse countries of the world- USA Canada. France, Italy, and Sweden. This collection of articles also introduces a Global Faith Book Series which publishes works of various aspects of the Baha'i Faith and globalization.
