LIOLOGY: THE VISION

Picture

The Liology Institute is dedicated to fostering a worldview that
will enable humans to thrive on our planet
harmoniously and sustainably


an unsustainable trajectory

Picture
The human race is currently on an unsustainable trajectory, pursuing material progress at all costs and ransacking the world’s natural resources at an ever-accelerating rate.  

Ultimately this course is driven by the predominant worldviews that encourage us to seek value in a transcendent dimension and to treat the natural world as a resource for consumption.

The Liology Institute is founded on the belief that, if our civilization is to survive its impending existential crisis, it needs a fundamentally different and coherent worldview, one that sees no inherent split between science and meaning in life and understands value to arise intrinsically from the natural world.

an integrated worldview

Picture
The Liology Institute is dedicated to fostering a worldview in which the human discovery and experience of meaning in our lives is compatible with the findings of scientific investigation, offering a deeply integrated and coherent understanding of humanity’s place in our cosmos which could enable us to thrive on our planet harmoniously and sustainably.

The Liology Institute invites our current generation to begin the work of preparing a conceptual and experiential basis for a worldview from which future generations will be able to draw power and inspiration, as they inherit the increasingly dire challenges to civilization our society is bequeathing them.
