An Incredibly Easy Way to Learn, Compare, and Contrast the Philosophies that Shape Our World

INTERNATIONAL NEWS RELEASE - TORONTO, July 12, 2000 - Macroknow Inc. today unveiled the Macroknow Book Club [International Edition] together with the first Macroknow Education Resource. Macroknow Education Resources promise to revolutionize the way people discover and grasp the hidden essence of the philosophies that underlie current political and economic policies.

The use of the first Macroknow Education Resource is open to everyone with access to the Internet free of charge.

"Major political, economic, and moral thrusts are grounded in philosophies that are often concealed from direct view. The push for globalization, free trade, and the rule of law are examples of such thrusts. Their impact will be formidable and irreversible. For better or for worse, their grounding philosophies shape our world. People must be empowered to get at the true essence of these philosophies so that they can determine for themselves the origin, meaning, impact, and real worth of the change," said Dr. Edward Ayoub, founder of Macroknow Inc.

"The Macroknow Book Club and the associated Educational Resources realize my deep commitment to promoting and accelerating education, especially authentic and reflective thinking and truth seeking -- in schools, colleges, corporate campuses, and legislatures" added Ayoub.

Education Resource

The first Macroknow Education Resource offers:

1. A gamut of essential quotations from the world's most influential leaders and philosophers.
2. Knowledge maps that array philosophical views by theme -- such as freedom, free trade, capitalism, law, justice, money, good, evil, truth, deceit, usury, bankers, etc.
3. A sophisticated network of links that allows people to discover, compare, and contrast worldviews, one quotation at a time.

"Macroknow uses a genetic slant in the development of knowledge maps. The views are arrayed by their philosophical 'seeds' (or philosophical 'DNA'). This allows people to get at the essence of the worldviews directly and immediately; and to trace the origins, lineages, intents, and evolution of the main philosophical ideas" explained Ayoub.

Education Goals

The Macroknow Book Club can be used by students and teachers:

 To stimulate and promote critical thinking.
 To encourage authentic reflection.
 To enrich and enlighten the mind.
 To develop strategies for seeking the truth.
 To expand knowledge of philosophy.
 To explore the history and evolution of ideas.
 To analyze, compare, and contrast belief systems and worldviews.
 To open new horizons for being.

Teachers can use Macroknow Book Club resources to create hot topics for essays and discussion groups. Students can navigate the network of links to explore, connect, and relate the ideas of the great thinkers.

The Macroknow Book Club includes a bookstore which offers students and teachers a convenient way to shop for the referenced books. The Macroknow Bookstore is provided in association with Amazon.com®. Macroknow Inc. is a member of the Amazon.com Associates Program.
