Towards a Wise Culture – Four ‘Classic’ Futures Texts PDF Print E-mail
Written by Richard Slaughter   

Towards a Wise Culture
Towards a Wise Culture
This CD Rom contains the full texts of Recovering the Future (1988), The Foresight Principle (1995), Futures for the Third Millennium (1999) and Futures Beyond Dystopia (2004). It tracks the development of critical futures studies through to the emergence of integral futures. The disc contains many extras including: reviews, overviews, interviews, author reflections, glossary and full colour images.

These four books track a personal and collective journey that took place over nearly two decades. Recovering the Future sets out some early themes: education, the futures field, cultural criticism and worldview issues. It might be called 'early critical' in its approach and tenor. The same would be true of The Foresight Principle which viewed some of these themes through a prism of three elements: foresight, wisdom and cultural transformation. Next, Futures for the Third Millennium represents a shift to a 'late critical' approach since the themes of the book are both broader and deeper. Finally, Futures Beyond Dystopia, demonstrates the 'transcend and include' mantra of integral work generally and explores an 'early integral' approach. Recovering the Future (1988) The Foresight Principle (1995) Futures for the Third Millennium (1999) and Futures Beyond Dystopia (2004). [Foresight International, 2005, CD-ROM ]
