How can a change of cultural paradigm, a second renaissance, actually come about? The companion to Paper 1 looks at how paradigm shifts emerge, what drives them, and which conditions support deep cultural change at scale.
What’s in the paper
- How paradigms live and die: the life cycle of a cultural paradigm, from birth and growth to maturity and decay, and where we are in the current transition.
- Pockets, sanghas and movements: three levels of change, from small groups living a new way of life, to networks of them, to a movement.
- Supporting a wise transition: bottom-up thinking, lessons from intentional communities, developmental spaces, and cultural and political activism.
