Third Universal Theory
The Third Universal Theory is attributed to Muammar Qaddafi and other revolutionary thinkers and is explained in part within The Green Book.
In English Third Universal Theory is often abbreviated as TUT or 3UT.
The Third Universal Theory has physical and spiritual dimensions, and is an ideology or philosophy.
Its original Arabic النظرية العالمية الثالثة has sometimes been translated as Third International Theory or Third World Theory. The official translation is however, Third Universal Theory. It has also sometimes simply been called the Third Theory.
Some of the unofficial variants on the understanding of why the TUT was called the "Third" theory include:
- As a third alternative to capitalism and communism
- As a third alternative to individual rule (dictatorship), and indirect rule (representative democracy)
Some of those who believe in the Third Universal Theory say it is another name for TRUTH: ThiRd Universal Theory
