Description:

This is experienced as a voice within, which points out that one has really done an inhuman thing and asks what one is going to do about it. It occurs when a person is called to account for his actions and cannot escape the voice of accountability, as in Charles Dickens' story "A Christmas Carol", when Scrooge first encounters the ghosts and they point out to him how destructive all of his relationships have been.

Context:

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of knowing one's internal sociality (the life of meditation) the second formal aspect is the experience of being called to accountability by one's interior priors. At the second phenomenological level, this occurs when a person finds his selfhood audited by that which commands his attention.<

Called to accountability

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.

About UIA

The Union of International Associations (UIA) is a research institute and documentation centre, based in Brussels. It was established in 1907, by Henri la Fontaine (Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1913), and Paul Otlet, a founding father of what is now called information science.

Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.
