Mario Betti - Hawthorn Press

Mario Betti was born in Lucca, Italy in 1942. As a young man, he loved the decathlon and wanted to learn ten languages so as to understand people. Teaching philosophy at Alanus University in Germany, he enabled students explore the twelve world views. The burning question which led to writing his book Twelve Ways of Seeing the World was, ‘How to develop ways of understanding every person, towards a ‘Whitsun’ of humanity where all languages will be understood in a community of inquirers.’ He says ‘This book is needed because humanity is getting more and more one-sided.’

Twelve Ways of Seeing the World
Philosophies and Archetypal Worldviews for Understanding Human Consciousness
Mario Betti
£20.00

Mario Betti strives to make sense of the world through different lenses framed as twelve archetypes. He draws on the research of Rudolph Steiner and his twelvefold typology of human and cosmic thought to explore and validate each world view from its own unique perspective. In this way he means to transform dogmatism and enable a deeper dialogue.
