From Flourishing to Corruption: Universe 25 the Role of Religious Education Against Social Collapse – Muhammet Mustafa Bayraktar – Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Yayınları

In a world where material wealth is abundant yet social ties are fraying, "From Flourishing to Corruption: Universe 25" takes readers on a journey through the dark corridors of modern civilization's behavioral collapse. Inspired by the groundbreaking Universe 25 experiment, this book explores how excessive individualism, isolation, and moral erosion mirror the very breakdown witnessed in Calhoun's laboratory mice. The parallels between today's hyper-urbanized societies and the chaotic dissolution of social structures in Universe 25 offer a chilling warning about the spiritual and social crises unfolding around us. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammet Mustafa Bayraktar critically investigates whether religious education and spirituality can serve as a shield against this collapse. Combining insights from sociology, psychology, and behavioral sciences, the book offers an interdisciplinary approach to restoring meaning, social cohesion, and moral consciousness in modern society.
