Comment: article is still promotional and personal information is not always cited, despite previous advice. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 18:03, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I've the book template for one of the books in the "Publications" section. Consider using the ISBN reference number of the publications to format all books like that in the section. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 18:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Reviewers should be aware that this article should significantly improve on—and address concerns raised at the deletion discussion of—the former article. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 17:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I find this draft confusing. It's not clear what, if any, notability is being asserted. I don't quite get the use of the block quotes. I would also suggest that the main body text is divided into sections with headings such as 'early life', 'education', 'career', etc. In general, the content should be structured like an encyclopaedia article, not an essay. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:36, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Please note that in articles on living people (WP:BLP), every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details must be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources, or else removed. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:34, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Four of the nine sources are too the BLP subject's own work. We need NPOV, reputable, secondary or tertiary sources to establish notability on Wikipedia. The article is not written in an accessible, encyclopedic tone. The prose is dense and impenetrable, and half the article is a description of one of his books. The article needs far more inline references, and much more context to be suitable for Wikipedia. FeralOink (talk) 13:38, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Yeshayahu (Jesaiah) Ben-Aharon (1955-) is a philosopher and social activist working in the tradition of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. Ben-Aharon's work focuses on the evolution of consciousness and how spiritual ideas can support social processes of transformation.
Early life and education
editBen-Aharon grew up in the Israeli kibbutz Giva't H'aim, co-founded by his parents in 1933..[1] His father, Yitzhak Ben-Aharon (1906-2006), was a leader of the Israeli labor party and labor union.[2] Dr Ben-Aharon received his MA and PhD in Haifa University on Edmund Husserl’s concept of ‘the I’[1]
Spiritual-social initiatives and ideas
editIn the 80's and 90's Ben-Aharon was active in Israelis civil society introducing spiritual-social ideas and initiatives. In 1982 he founded an anthroposophical kibbutz in Harduf.[3] According to historian Isaac Lubelsky, Dr Ben-Aharon 'was the living spirit behind the foundation of the Harduf Kibbutz, which is perhaps the most prominent Anthroposophical center in Israel'.[4] Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi writes that Ben-Aharon's work to introduce ideas from Rudolf Steiner into social life in Israel in the 1990's led to anthroposophy gaining 'the status of a respectable scientific-philosophical approach'.[5]
In 2002 Ben-Aharon co-founded with peace activist Nicanor Perlas the Global Network for Social Threefolding which sought to actualize the social ideas of Rudolf Steiner.[6]
Spiritual science and the transformation of consciousness
editA central element in Ben-Aharon's work is the question of how to establish a methodology for the transformation of human consciousness adequate to the present. Ben-Aharon has claimed that a number of scientific and philosophical authors and artists should be seen as symptoms of an evolution of consciousness, and he has brought this in relation to the idea of creating a spiritual science.[7] Deleuze & Guattari, Foucault, Derrida, Badiou and Levinas are philosophers Ben-Aharon claims give expression to such a transformation.[8] In Cognitive Yoga Ben-Aharon presents his own work based on Rudolf Steiner's ideas of how to transform and spiritualize consciousness. This book has been described as 'a most extraordinary book—probably the most extraordinary book that has been written within anthroposophy since the original work of Rudolf Steiner'.[9] Other publications of Ben-Aharon treating questions of spiritual science has received criticism from Andreas Neider who claims it to be inadequate[10] and Franz Hofner who considers it to be the result of a personal projection[11]
In many of Ben-Aharon’s publications, the concept of the Event is related to the anthroposophical perspective of the Second Coming of Christ, understood as a universal, spiritual event that inspires many of the novel ideas and social impulses of the 20th and 21st Century.[12] According to Johannes Lauterbach, Ben-Aharon's later work should be understood as an attempt to unite the social-activist element with spiritual transformative practices, and on this basis create a community.[13]
