The Value of The Ethnosphere @ Comprehensivist Wednesdays

We will explore the Ethnosphere, the cultural analogue of the biosphere, assess its value, and its implications for comprehensivist learning.

To get the most out of this event, we recommend participants watch the enthralling, nearly two hour, video lecture of Wade Davis "The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World" at https://youtu.be/af_QsG16ixc

For participants who want to think through the issues that we will specifically explore, I wrote an essay "The Value of The Ethnosphere" at https://www.cjfearnley.com/CfC/2020/11/the-value-of-the-ethnosphere/ which details, in draft form, the ideas that we will explore at the event. We recommend reading the essay after watching the video.

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.

The first, introductory, event from "Comprehensivist Wednesdays" can be watched on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjwTy6pGkNA
