Course : Worldview and the Shaping of the Future
The course will present the way a worldview can influence our future. It will be based upon a systemic, interdisciplinary and transverse approach. The first part will deal with the system analysis approach and the evolution of complex systems. The World System will be presented at three levels: the environment, the technical and economic system and the representation system, from which stems a worldview. In a second part the present dominant worldview and its current limits will be analysed and discussed. Environmental, economic constraints will be considered. In a third part, the issue of building a worldview for the future will be discussed, within the context of different possible scenarios.
It will be proposed to the students to build their own worldview for the future.
