Ritual and Systems Thinking

“Systems thinking has been put to the test in the convergence of a quasi-catastrophic episode of everyday life (the COVID pandemic). This leads the author to explore, through his own doubts and weaknesses but also questions and answers, the meaning of life as a response based on coexistence understood as the act of recognizing the other as a legitimate other in coexistence and from there, enriching the possibility of creative thinking. From a critical review of ritual, the author leads us to critically explore rituals as spaces of co-existence, which is perhaps the propitious space for the exercise of critical systemic thinking in its most authentic sense. A work which reveals a deep systemic vocation.” — Professor Alejandro Ochoa-Arias, PhD, Universidad Austral de Chile, sede Puerto Montt ""Rituals and Systems Thinking explores the significance of rituals. It blends personal stories, systems thinking, and societal insights. Dr. Córdoba- Pachón assesses comprehensively how rituals could transform our lives in a post-pandemic, tech-driven world, emphasizing a more meaningful existence. This book deserves slow reading.” — Professor Teresa Torres-Coronas, PhD, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Catalonia, Spain
