What have we learned during the “Intelligence of Nature” cycle? Synthesis presented at the PhiloMa closing conference on 12/06/12 Laurent Ledoux ledoux.laurent@gmail.com – 0478 62 14 20
Reality Time Rootless Value Others
Cut-off from reality Absence of limits & illusion of linearity
Cut-off of reality Ignorance ofirreversibilities & feedback loops
Cut-off from long time horizons Time is money
Cut-off from long time horizons Future’s discounted value = 0 ?
Cut-off from others Monadology
Cut-off from intrinsic value Blinded by exchange value
Reality Time (Re)connect Value Others
The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works & the way people think Bateson

To conclude with the words of J. Baird Callicott, who inspired our cycle of seminars: “The Environmental Crisis of the 20th century is before anything a crisis of ideas. What we need is a NeoPresocratic Philosophy for the New Millenium, which raises anew the oldest questions of philosophy first posed by the Presocratics: - What is the nature of Nature ? - What is human nature ? - What is the proper relationship between “man” and Nature ?” Callicott See J.
