- a necessary evolutionary step by Heiner Benking
Objectives: This workshop is about how to:
- overcome thinking in primarily or just one "area" or “box” and see ethics and the challenge to Humanity to include space and time horizons (adapted from Hans Jonas, see: http://benking.de/jonas-1993.html) and folio 1 (Club of Rome Report)
- think between scales - micro - meso - macro - cosm (see Paul Weiss folio 2)
- think not dualistic, abstract, and linear, but in embodied, plastic and real way by not just using pictures, models or metaphors, but by placing and relating them in extra and conjoined realms or spaces (folio 3 and “black-box” and “cognitive panorama”)
- locate and outline what issues, subjects or situations “are about” in an overview or contextual „mode“ or better map/model, neglecting the detail for a moment in order to „roughly“ orient the „what it is about“ and by locating themes, find occurrances of the same issue in different languages and cultures. (folio 4 terminology & switching space)
- think spacially (embodied and immersive) instead of thinking spatially and abstract in a nominalistic instead of a conceptaulsitic/contextualistic constructive way or „mode“.
- Combine scemas and representations in order to overcome the dogma of the one and only categrory, represntation, frame, schema, .... (metaphors are image schemas)
