Value Crisis: An Integral Perspective
(Abstract)
The diagnosis of the eleology of the present
cultural anoinie requires a more integral perspective. In
fact the more integral is our perspective in the
annecstanding of a problem, the nearer we are to the triiih about it, though a perfectly integral perspective is not
human
Possible because of man's serious limitations.
This, however, only reiterates the principle that the
el inore integral, is the more true. This is specially so in
the present context because value systems are intutive
and their truth cannot be understood piecemeal. Looking
at the problem integrally one may not agree that the present Indian society is sinking in the morass of value-lessness but a chaos in value system is too obvious. what India needs today is a cultural super- system of spiritual values which may work as a dominant cultural
theme for creative orientation. These spiritual values
are truth, beauty, gooaness, sublimity, bliss and the
fullest realization of our inter potentialities.
