In a postmodern world view, talking about societal development would more or less be heresy. So what we need now is some sort of a reconstructing postmodernist postmodernism. Some thinkers are using the name a meta modern perspective to try and integrate all the insights from different worldviews that humanity has gone through. And this is really the first time in the history of humanity that we are trying to develop and adopt a multi-perspectable worldview.
On this episode, author and social entrepreneur Tomas Björkman joins Nate to discuss his recent projects promoting inner development based on his books The Nordic Secret and The World We Create. Tomas unpacks the philosophical framework of ‘metamodernism’ and ultimately why having more mindful, engaged, global citizens is so critical to our coming challenges. How can we as individuals contribute to a more positive transition by becoming more thoughtful and resilient?
