While the current phase of globalization in human affairs often uses the language of unity, it largely reflects the prevailing culture of separation and materialism that inevitably exacerbates division. A new global culture requires a deeper era of thought, drawing on the ancient universal values of both East and West that can guide us towards a balanced relationship between spirit and matter.
How can Chinese wisdom and Whitehead’s philosophy of organism help build a culture of shared humanity and hope—bridging East and West? Center for Process Studies Board Chair, Dr. Jay McDaniel will explore this topic. Also presenting in this session of the seminar is Dr. Jack Bagby, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Consciousness, and Cosmology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
