The VISIONs
Most of the authors wrote an original essay for the Vision Project on the topic, A Vision for Humanity. Some of the authors were not able to prepare an original essay for the project but allowed us to use anything they had previously written.We are also including essays from some visionaries who are no longer living, but who are contributors to the emerging vision.
