(1886-1957)

Spiritual Teacher, Proponent of Biosophy

Czernowitz, Austria

According to the Biosophical Institute, Frederick Kettner is the father of the science of Biosophy -- a new view of life and the role of education in developing the Better or Peace Nature within us. His teaching and his written works were dedicated to helping people discover their true selves, and he believed that the future of humanity depended on our ability to discover, develop and share our true spiritual nature.

Kettner believed that world peace could be achieved by establishing the post of a Secretary of Peace in every government's Cabinet. In 1936 he brought a petition to establish a Secretary of Peace signed by 41,000 Americans to the First Inter-American Peace Conference in Buenos Aires. He also advocated the establishment of a Peace University in the United States to help people develop their true Peace Nature. Today, Congressman Dennis Kucinich has re-ignited this goal with the introduction of a bill to establish a Cabinet-level Department of Peace, which would also include a Peace Academy. This new effort is being supported by a major national and international grassroots effort that is inspiring hope for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.
