The Human-nature Relationship Revisited
We have delved into the specific reasons for our dysfunctional behaviors and have concluded that the majority of human difficulties have manifested themselves in misperceptions regarding our nature, purpose, meaning and destiny in relationship to the natural world.
Commitment and Concerted Action in the World: Uniting Humanity to a Global Environmental Purpose
We are now
at the place where we have knowledge of specific interventions that must be initiated
and how to go about them. What is missing is the global political will to carry
out our mission and create a positive outcome.
Does the Universe Have a Purpose?
Our purpose and meaning may also be integrally tied to the
destiny of the universe as well. Given our present knowledge and understanding
of the cosmos is limited, it would appear that further rigorous investigation
into this mystery is both prudent and ethical and will necessitate time and
patience for us to arrive at a viable conclusion.
Bioregionalism/Living in Place
Bioregionalism was formulated to address the exploitive nature of our current societies and the fact that we are now in danger of extinction as a species in the near future.
The Great Turning
This new philosophy is manifested in three main areas of focus including interventions to slow the pace of environmental degradation, “analysis of the structural causes and creation of structural alternatives and a fundamental shift in worldview and values.”
