The Baha'i Studies Listserv More on the Unity Model <http://unities.bahaifaith.info/>:
*Through the realism of unfettering agency, not through speculative idealism, we demonstrate our universal interdependence and inclusion. If, as [Roy] Bhaskar asserts, we are all interconnected, then the Marxian dialectic (contradiction) of capitalist economic oppression and social alienation, and other dialectics and dualisms, are resolved through an existential non-duality. The emancipatory <http://www.bahaistudies.net/asma/political_and_economic_spectrums.pdf> aspirations of the intellectual left, are resolved, not abandoned, in the ground-state of unity. Critical realism is, perhaps, a Marxism fulfilled, a libertarianism fulfilled, a nationalism fulfilled, a politics fulfilled, and so forth.* Within the new outlook [the philosophy of meta-Reality], it [the dialectic] retains all its purchase on the world of duality and oppressive dualism, at the heart of which is its demonstration of the irrepressible conatus [persistence] to freedom immanent in human praxis as such. Mervyn Hartwig (introduction) to Roy Bhaskar, Dialectic: The Pulse of Freedom. New York. Routledge. 2008. Page xxvi. Ultimately the dialectic of self-realisation ushers in a dialectic of God-realisation, conveying (in one sense or inflection of "God-realisation") the conatus to the embodiment of heaven on earth. In such a state, concretely singularised Self-centred subjects flourish in selfless solidarity with each and all in "unity existence" (being and doing).
