WEAVING A WEB OF MEANING
As our civilization careens toward a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological destruction, and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings.
Our dominant worldview of disconnection has passed its expiration date. It's not just dangerous—it's based on a series of flawed assumptions that have been superseded by modern scientific findings
Jeremy Lent’s new book, The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe, offers a coherent and intellectually solid foundation for an alternative worldview based on deep interconnectedness, showing how modern scientific knowledge echoes the ancient wisdom of earlier cultures.
Once we shift our worldview, another world becomes possible.
In this talk, based on themes from his new book, Jeremy Lent will discuss how another worldview is possible—recognizing our deep interrelatedness with all of life.
Showing how modern scientific knowledge echoes the ancient wisdom of earlier cultures, the talk weaves together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom.
