INTERNATIONAL NEWS
RELEASE —
TORONTO, July 12,
2000 — Macroknow Inc.
today unveiled the Macroknow Library™ [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 and
the impacts of these philosophies on people's lives.
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 Library 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:
- A gamut of essential
quotations from the world's most influential leaders and
philosophers.
- Knowledge maps that
array philosophical views by theme -- such as freedom, free
trade, capitalism, law, justice, money, good, evil, truth, deceit,
usury, bankers, etc.
- 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
