Here is a book that is online, The Curve of Development, Daniel W. Fry.
http://danielfry.com/index.php?id=907
Published in 1965, the summary of the books states:
Social, Spiritual and Technological processes follow a curve, which starts in the physical and ends in the metaphysical.
It sounds interesting. --VM44
The book suggests that the highest level of development is metaphysical. I posted the link because the book talks about new ideas to consider.
The Watchtower only mentions metaphysics in a negative manner, something to stay away from, but they have never, to my knowledge, ever defined what metaphysics is!
Hard to stay away from something if you only have a vague idea of what it is you should stay away from!
The WT dislikes the whole of philosophy. They do not like to admit that "All men philosophise, but few men admit it."
--VM44
So what does this book say metaphysics is? Does it go into that in any detail beyond that it ends there?
I tend to agree w the theory as you stated it. If that is the case, then we, as civilisation have barely begin. Are there any points that you think prove the theory?
