DESCRIPTION:_To commemorate the centenary of the passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá\
 , the Cambridge University Bahá'í Society has arranged online talks by e
 ight international speakers. Each speaker will focus on one theme based on
  the teachings and life of this unique individual and its relevance to our
  world today. This is the second talk in the series._\n\n*Human Nature*\n\
 nDuring His travels to the West\, 'Abdu'l-Bahá encountered many organizat
 ions and individuals whose aims and vision of the future of mankind were s
 imilar to those of the Bahá'í Faith. Their proposals for solving the cha
 llenges that mankind was facing were\, however\, very different from those
  presented by 'Abdu'l-Bahá\, as each advocated distinct conceptions of hu
 man nature and therefore their diagnoses of the causes of underlying world
  problems differed greatly. Amín Egea will introduce this question and of
 fer examples that will help understand the context in which 'Abdu'l-Bahá 
 presented the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh.\n\nAmín Egea lives in Barcelona
 \, Spain\, and holds a PhD in Modern and Contemporary History from the Uni
 versitat Autónoma de Barcelona. He is the author of various works on the 
 life and teachings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. In the two volumes of The Apostle
  of Peace (George Ronald\, 2017 and 2019) he presents over two thousand ar
 ticles about the son of Bahá’u’lláh published in the Western press b
 etween 1871 and 1921. More recently\, he has published Un clamor por la pa
 z (“A Clamor for Peace”\, Editorial Bahá’í de España\, 2021) an a
 daptation of his doctoral dissertation\, in which he analyzes the discours
 e of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá on issues such as human equality\, social justice\,
  peace and the nature and purpose of religion\, comparing it with that of 
 His contemporaries during His travels to the West.\n\nTo register and have
