A N EW A GE P ROUT is an acronym for PROgressive Utilization Theory, a socio-economic philosophy that synthesizes the physical, mental and spiritual dimensions of human nature. Neither of these approaches had adequately met the physical, mental and spiritual needs of humanity.
True progress is movement toward inner spiritual fulfillment.
Material or intellectual gains do not necessarily constitute progress unless they contribute to this deeper well-being. The progressive bearing of a society can only be maintained by making continual adjustments in the use of physical resources and mental potentialities in accordance with spiritual and Neo-humanistic values. As human beings we should construct our economic and social institutions to facilitate the attainment of our highest potentiality. Neo-humanism provides a philosophical basis for building a new era of ecological balance and human kinship. Only by decentralizing the economy and putting decision-making power in the hands of local people can we ensure the availability of food, shelter, clothing, health care and education for all.
