A Philosophical Perspective
First presented at the Irfan Colloquia Session #86
Louhelen Bahá'í School: Davison, Michigan, USA
October 9–12, 2008
(see list of papers from #86)
By identifying and examining the philosophical positions explicitly and implicitly embedded in Some Answered Questions, this paper calls attention to the philosophical foundations of the Bahá'í teachings. The goal is to understand these teachings philosophically, as distinct from understanding them historically or theologically for example. The areas covered are ontology, onto-theology, epistemology, philosophical anthropology and psychology, and personal and social ethics. This paper also identifies those philosophical views with which the positions taken in Some Answered Questions have the greatest natural affinity.
