A Call for Papers for Our 2027 Special Edition of Eternal Dance of Macrocosm
Building a Balanced, Ethical and Sustainable Future: Reflections on Education By Marcus Bussey
Education is an evolutionary tool that bridges time and culture, weaving together Western aspirations for a collective humanity with an Eastern perception that we are entangled in multiple flows of consciousness.
Artificial Intelligence in Education: Current Status and Future Trajectories By Sudhir Tiku
Artificial intelligence, or AI, has become one of the most consequential technological influences on contemporary education, but its relationship with learning did not begin with Generative AI.
Seeking the Benevolence of Technology By Prabhakar T Överland
Mass-consumption AI and its application in commercial, surveillance, and military operations are on the rise. Can morality and conscientious education guide overly analytical science to serve humanity?
The Dialectical Method in Futures Scenarios: A Framework for Analyzing Contradiction and Transformation By Sohail Inayatullah, Rachael Smith and Eva Oloumi
This paper presents the dialectical method as a robust framework for scenario development within futures studies. It begins by situating this approach within a broader typology of existing scenario methodologies.
Beyond Redistribution: What Neohumanism Offers Contemporary Political Economy By Pranav Bihari
Contemporary political economy has developed a significant body of scholarship on predistribution—the argument that market rules and institutional structures should be shaped upstream to prevent extreme concentrations of wealth and power, rather than corrected downstream through taxation and welfare transfers.
The River Within Us: Rediscovering Our Sacred Bond with Rivers By Shermon Cruz
As the backbones of civilization, rivers did not just sustain life—they created history. Along their banks, civilisations blossomed into the societies we know today. Rivers are not only the authors of human history, but the intrinsic essence of life and the cosmos.
Transhumanism – Promise or Peril? A Critical Reflection By Aaron Frank
The power to rewrite the genetic code of human life is no longer speculative. For the first time, science has confirmed that human beings are born with deliberately altered DNA and can pass those genetic changes to future generations.
AI and the Global South: Colonialization or Emancipation? By Sudhir Tiku
The Global South is no longer a passive recipient of global power dynamics; it is an increasingly influential force actively shaping the 21st century. Its growing importance is multifaceted, driven by both demographic and economic shifts.
Changing the Story: A Neohumanist Educational Philosophy for the Anthropocene By Kathleen Kesson
A paradigm shift in education has finally been recognized at the highest level, in a 2020 UNESCO report: Learning To Become WITH The World: Education for future survival. The report aligns closely with the vision of Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar in his book The Liberation of Intellect: Neohumanism.
Climate Change, From the Deep Past To the 22nd Century By Michael Towsey
The most important lesson we can learn from climate history is that, while climate change can be destructive, it is invariably constructive, catalyzing the emergence of ever more remarkable expressions of life, science, and culture.
Towards a Deeper Understanding in Physics By Suresh Emre
Overspecialization lessens the chances of seeing connections between different areas of physics. Finding connections is key to a deeper understanding. No single theory can unify physical forces, let alone unify biological and mental phenomena with physics. We should look for abstract generative constructs that may have more explanatory power.
Power and Medicine During Transitional Eras: Microvita As the Bridge By Sohail Inayatullah
This essay argues for an alternative vision of the future of health: a holistic model that includes global health cooperatives and integrates spirit with science. Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar’s theory of microvita serves as a conceptual framework for taking placebo and nocebo seriously.
Nurturing the Village: The Future of Education through Holistic Relationships By Carlos Torre
To forge a path forward, we must recognize that the village extends beyond the school walls. It requires the active participation of all community members in the educational process. Teachers must be supported in their role to honor and leverage the diverse cultural backgrounds of their students.
The Cycle of Inflation and the Price Spiral of the 2020s By Ravi Batra
A two per cent inflation rate is typical of modern capitalism, but the US Consumer Price Index shattered this baseline in 2021. Spikes peaked at nine per cent—the highest since 1981. That woke up the economic profession.
What’s Neo about Neohumanism? By Marco Alexandre de Oliveira
With its visionary and even revolutionary discourse, neohumanism represents another form of knowledge, an “other” thinking, the renewed expression of the ancient tantric epistemology – or science of yoga – from which it was conceived and elaborated as a primarily spiritual and profoundly mystical philosophy, promoting both a reformulation and a revision of classical humanism.
