Problematics and Pathways
The problems, prospects and potential before us. And some resources, in case you want
to explore the knowledge ecology of the interconnected realities we are exploring. More on the web.
“What influences our individual and collective decisions and actions? Our vices? Our virtues? Our values? Or the meanings we associate with our acts? The political, economic, social, cultural, digital contexts we live in? Or, a combination? Do we act as we must? Or, do we compromise? Do our acts at a personal level produce adverse effect at a public level e.g. ecological level because of our indiscriminate personal consumption? Can growth of affluence at one level, which is a measure of positive achievement, a valued status, also mean more meaninglessness or more inequality and poverty at another? What is the nature of values that on one hand promote affluence which on the other produce misery? How do we make sense of this? Can we consistently act for an inclusive common good, which also includes Nature? Why? How?”
