With many seemingly hopeless and discouraging challenges during these times, Journeyism reaches out with optimism and encouragement.
This book reveals how academic institutions can create sustainable conditions for human dignity for everyone in the long-term. How can something so remote as sustainable conditions for human dignity be possible? There exists a concrete way in which academic communities worldwide can collaborate effectively with each other to meet all manner of practical and cultural needs in every neighbourhood, town, and city.
Journeyism fuses a journalistic style and scholarly writing with an element of adventure from which to appeal to a wide audience without implying simplification, and to encourage scholars and scientists, regardless of experience, to work gradually toward the distant goal of ‘reading on the level of the times.’
You are invited to draw out the hiddenness of your thinking self to reveal you at your best, in your capacity and need to create and implement practical solutions in your field of study. By doing so, you will uncover foundations for future global stewardship, with a new standard model for the academy from which to refresh the philosophical tradition, redefine ‘academic discipline,’ and reinvigorate universal education.
