“Study Circle 5: Patterns of Dysfunction in Contemporary Democracies; Impact on Human Rights and Governance” and “Study Circle 8: Learning and Bildung in time of Globalization” are joining forces at this year’s summer session. The members of the two circles are involved in arranging two traces:

  • Governance, Learning, Sustainable Development and the future of the Human Condition

 

Trace 1, Women, and the social gap. How the social, cultural, and economic position of women can affect the emerging or closing of the social gap, is arranged by professor Magdalena Tabernacka, Wroclaw University, Poland, SC5

This Trace is scattered when it comes to geographical space. Communication will take place on the Internet. Ideas that will be the result of our virtual meetings will be available on the web and in the form of publications. Session abstracts and discussion lists will be available throughout the summer session. On Sunday, 2 August between 12.00 and 14.00, there will be an online discussion and exchange of views on the problem and brief summaries of the results of the mailing list discussion.

 

Trace2, Governance, Learning, Sustainable Development and the future of the Human Condition arranged by coordinators from SC5 and SC8

(Ivan) Khan, Faculty of Divinity, Toronto School of Theology, Trinity College Toronto on “Tagore and Bildung ”  (https://www.tst.edu/directory/faculty/khan-abrahim-h ). The Trace ends Saturday 1. August by a seminar, which after a presentation of the development of the notion of Sustainable Development opens up for a critical constructive discussion of the Nordic Council of Ministers Vision for 2030 especially concerning the notion of Sustainable Development and the role NSU can play in qualifying this vision

 

 

Tuesday 28, 10.00-12.00 C8 & C5 Seminar on Bateson: Steps Towards an Ecology of Mind

On Zoom: for information on how to join follow this link: https://cutt.ly/XsjVtXj

Seminar on / text-reading of George Bateson: Steps Towards an Ecology of Mind

Intro and teaser to Nora Bateson’s two keynotes

Texts: https://cutt.ly/4apyKWd

We will focus on reading and discussing the logical categories of learning (Text A).

If time permits we might also briefly touch on two minor texts on ecology, eco-mentality and the ecological crisis, Text B1 and B2

Finally, there are also secondary texts for a rainy day, but they will not be our primary focus. Notice though, that in the text on Hegel and Bateson, then figure 9.1 at page 174 refers directly to the three dimensions mentioned in text B2

 

Friday 31. July, 11.30-13.00 TRACE KEYNOTE LECTURE: Abrahim H. (Ivan) Khan, Faculty of Divinity, Toronto School of Theology, Trinity College Toronto. “Tagore and Bildung “

Tagore, Building, and Learning to be Human 

A sketch of Tagore’s view on education is presented to make a connection with the idea of Bildung. The sketch is based on his essays/addresses on education, the poet school’s, construction and creation, and the play Achalayatan. Given that Bildung many be a contestable concept in education, attention is paid to determine in what sense it maps on to Tagore’s view of education. At the heart of much of the keynote presentation is the concept of person/personality as understood by Tagore. On the whole, the keynote address assembles for discussion and critical reflections some reminders about learning to be human in the 21st century.
