CREATIVITY : A SOCIAL ECOLOGICAL APPROACH

Creative people in the Arts and Sciences are unconsciously locked in a virtual reality of their own making. These people perpetuate the feed-back loop of the failing socio-economic system that caused the environmental problems in the first place and under the guise of ’sustainability’, simply substitute one problem for another.

‘Creativity: A Social Ecological Approach’, offers an alternative paradigm that confronts the realities of climate change on a finite planet. An innovative set of building blocks is explored to change course and find a positive way forward in this time of transition.

“The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their place, insomuch that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.” Plutarch (Vita Thesei, 22-23)
