Hans Küng
nodeThe Vatican & Religious Power · Occult & Esoteric · Media & Managed Opposition
A single thinker drew up a plan to get every major part of society to follow the same global ethic.
Who they are
Hans Küng, a Swiss theologian and founder of the Global Ethic Foundation.
What they do
The engine calls him the founder who created the complete institutional map for a global ethic.
How it works
In 1999, Küng called on religion, government, business, education, media, science, international organisations, and civil society to adopt the same 'global ethic'. He provided the first draft of the 1993 Declaration Toward a Global Ethic as an academic advisor to the InterAction Council. In 2007, he received the Culture Award of German Freemasons, presented by Grand Master Jens Oberheide as a 'free and brave thinker' who spoke 'straight from our Masonic hearts'.
Why it matters
It shows how one person's idea was pushed across many sectors, while the record does not establish that the Foundation controls the Parliament of the World's Religions or that Küng held office in or funding from the InterAction Council.
