Emerging Visions
The partnership between the democracy and chaos visions that has dominated our society for nearly forty years is falling apart in the face of problems it cannot solve. In the window of opportunity that this provides, a host of alternatives is being offered, all springing out of the three youngest visions: holism, horizontalism, and creative imagination.
Holism, the most mature of the three, is rapidly developing new scientific and philosophical paradigms based on a view of the universe as an interconnected, organic whole. Horizontalism presents a radical, peer-to-peer concept of social relationships that directly challenges the failings of a system representative democracy that no longer represents the interests of its citizens. And creative imagination is beginning to suggest new understandings of the human mind and our relationship to existence.
