During a visit to Jordan Nicholas Hagger stood on Mount Nebo where
the prophet Moses stood, and looked down on the Promised Land of
Canaan that Moses saw shortly before he died. It seemed as if all
the kingdoms of the earth were spread out below him, a new Promised
Land: a coming World State called for by Dante and Kant, and more
recently by Truman, Einstein, Churchill, Eisenhower, Gandhi,
Russell, J.F. Kennedy and Gorbachev -Â and Hagger himself in
World State and World Constitution. Combining travelogue and
historical reflection, Nicholas Hagger draws on previous visits to
the Biblical Middle East and traces the development of his
Universalism in his formative years and then in his “wilderness
years”, when like Moses he spent 40 years in the wilderness
setting out Universalism in 60 books and arriving at its ten
commandments. He reflects on a remarkable life and its pattern and
reaches some conclusions on the Providential nature of its
direction and on the European civilisation. Weaving together his
wanderings in Arabia and Egypt, his past travels and his writings,
he presents a coming democratic, partly federal World State with
sufficient authority to abolish war, enforce disarmament, combat
famine, disease and poverty and solve the world’s financial,
environmental and virological problems, and in a closing vision a
coming Promised Land that like Moses he will not live to see. This
is a stunning work with a prophetic vision of the future.
