Transitioning to Integral Ecology? Transdisciplinary Approaches for the Grounding and Implementation of a Holistic Worldview
“Since everything is closely interrelated, and today’s problems call for a vision capable of taking into account every aspect of the global crisis, I suggest that we now consider some elements of an integral ecology, one which clearly respects its human and social dimensions” (Pope Francis, Laudato Si’, paragraph 137)
Today there is an increasing ecological awareness around the world and a transition toward a society based on a notion of integral ecology is underway. Where this transition is successful, it includes collaboration between experts in different academic disciplines, civil society, politicians, religious leaders, and all those who influence popular culture. This three-day conference seeks to showcase a method of interaction—based on panel discussions—between specialists and activists that can help deepen this process of collaboration.
“Today’s recovery of an interdisciplinary approach is certainly positive and promising … It is all the more so in its “strong” form, as trans-disciplinary, situating and stimulating all disciplines against the backdrop of the Light and Life offered by the Wisdom streaming from God’s Revelation” (Pope Francis, Veritatis Gaudium, Introduction, 4C)
