In September 2013, President Obama remarked, “We should not be the world’s policeman,” highlighting America's decline and the erosion of global order. This decline is evident in the rise of the Islamic State, which declared independence in June 2014, and the Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong, a protest against China’s oppressive regime. These events reveal differing value systems at play. The decline of American influence suggests a lack of clear standards for justice within Christian civilization. Meanwhile, the Islamic State reflects a troubling loss of peace and tolerance among some Muslims, deviating from Muhammad's teachings. China's totalitarianism, rooted in materialism, undermines human dignity and individual freedom. The world now seeks a new philosophy to guide nations toward values of justice and dignity. Master Ryuho Okawa, a prolific author and spiritual leader, offers insights into global affairs, analyzing the U.S., China, and the Islamic State through his extensive knowledge of history, philosophy, and religion. He emphasizes the need for a new moral philosophy that encompasses economic principles to foster global growth and justice. Okawa argues that this new world order must be clearly defined, providing a direction that can emerge from Japan’s unique perspective.
