Series: Transdisciplinary Management of Ecological and Social Crises
The accumulation of risks, at all levels of reality, that are currently assailing Humanity are not anecdotal. There are manifestations of the end of one civilization and the potential emergence, beyond chaos, of another one.

However, understanding the significance of this transformation, which is already underway, requires a distanciation from the techno-industrial ""village"" and its confinement within inherited and sef-evident certainties. 

This approach invites the traveler to stand at another level of reality in order to discover a being that requires, in order to penetrate it, other logics than those that underpin the village's discourse. This distanciation is the beginning of a real prospective view of the unknown future.

Essential reading for scholars in critical management studies, systems theory, philosophy, and environmental humanities, this book offers a synthesis of historical analysis, cultural critique, and transdiscipinary reflection, calling for a radical reorientation of thought and practice in the face of planetary precarity.
