Contemplating Unification Thought

by Jennifer P. Tanabe

A series of reflections on the basic theories of Unification Thought, the philosophical system developed by Sang Hun Lee. Unification Thought itself is derived from the revelations received by Sun Myung Moon, and systematized and applied to the traditional fields of philosophy in a novel and intriguing way. Part 1 of this volume contains discussions of these ideas in the context of critical analyses by a variety of scholars. The second part contains discussions of how these ideas may be applied to issues that we face in our everyday lives. Diagrams illustrating key ideas are also included.

About the author

I'm an academic type - got my B.S. in Biological Sciences and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I was also a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development for a year.

My interest in Psychology broadened to include a spiritual/parapsychological dimension, and also anthropology. I'm fascinated by the paranormal, indigenous peoples and cultures (especially Native Americans and Celts), mythical creatures, and always enjoy my tea (I'm British so of course!).

My recent work includes serving as book review editor for the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace's periodical Dialogue & Alliance; serving the International Educational Foundation as a researcher, writer, and editor; and as an educational consultant for Outcomes Assessment for the Unification Theological Seminary in Barrytown, NY.

I'm also a published author. My publications so far consist of a series on David S.C. Kim, including a biography and edited collections of his writings and activities, a series on the writings of Dietrich F. Seidel, a couple of publications on "Unification Thought," a book on international aid, and a collection of short stories. My next publication will be a novel!
