<em>At our May
Forum we dig
down to the
roots of our
unsustainable
society. There
we find human
behavior
springing from
an outdated
worldview,
producing
increasingly
bitter fruit.
<br>
Do our current
efforts, in
the name of
'sustainability',
amount to
plucking the
leaves of the
weeds - as
Ehrenfeld
contends,
merely
reducing
unsustainability?<br>
<br>
Can we expect
flourishing
when a drive
for perpetual
growth feeds
on finite
terrestrial
resources, or
do we need to
dig again, to
tend to the
soil - and the
soul, to
nurture
culture, to
nourish
flourishing?
Is
sustainability
a spiritual
movement?<br>
<br>
Join us as we
examine
'sustainability'
from a
philosophical
perspective,
in
conversation
with two
leading
thinkers who
are urging us
to attend to
making
ourselves
whole, so that
we may take
care of the
world.<br>
