For the last two years Perspectiva has been focussed on developing our intellectual foundations, our clarity of purpose, and our major strategic and funding relationships. From 2020 onwards we aim to be more outward focussed, and we hope to be in touch at least twice a month here, including original writing from Perspectiva staff, advisors and associates. This letter is longer than most will be because there’s some catching up to do. (If you’re eager for details of forthcoming events, please scroll to the end.) Perspectiva is an applied philosophy of education and an urgent one hundred year project. The urgency is about our ecological emergency. ‘Emergency!’ risks sounding shrill, but it’s all too real, as people recovering from floods in the UK and fires in Australia know. Whatever our metric, risk appetite, or questionable deadline of choice, the climate conclusion is always the same: we have no time to lose. Yet the very idea of emergency only gets us so far, so fast. Emissions continue to rise because we cannot disentangle climate collapse from the broader crisis of civilisation, including the fact that there’s no ‘we’ as such, and many of our problems arise through hysteresis — things already in motion that cannot easily be undone. In almost every part of the world, our scope for action on the emergency is constrained by our forms of governance, our political economy, our imperious technology, our institutional logics and our social norms. Alas, all rallying cries for transformation arise in cultures and psyches riddled with immunities to change. That conundrum is the meta-crisis<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__systems-2Dsouls-2Dsociety.us17.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D03daa88c3075ee5b17c8a7ce6-26id-3Da47dbed35c-26e-3D59de18c7a1&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=wjF8cZoiFchamTuxBdDEmw&m=Mdwu6Xxpy0aIea9kAjRNVtk9UK0X-MHAZrqnqqWU94w&s=C_CJ6qAGhaLW10X3KfEtmE7qxar_2XfK3QlTsU510EE&e=> lying within, between and beyond the emergency and the crisis, and it’s educational<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__systems-2Dsouls-2Dsociety.us17.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D03daa88c3075ee5b17c8a7ce6-26id-3Dcab22d57c5-26e-3D59de18c7a1&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=wjF8cZoiFchamTuxBdDEmw&m=Mdwu6Xxpy0aIea9kAjRNVtk9UK0X-MHAZrqnqqWU94w&s=jV6l1oW6-JAwnahZjYdVDiflsBU6FIficeQg4kLUjsY&e=>, epistemic and spiritual<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__systems-2Dsouls-2Dsociety.us17.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D03daa88c3075ee5b17c8a7ce6-26id-3D23fd434673-26e-3D59de18c7a1&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=wjF8cZoiFchamTuxBdDEmw&m=Mdwu6Xxpy0aIea9kAjRNVtk9UK0X-MHAZrqnqqWU94w&s=kIp9zv8zuNCK3hhtKNU9b9AA0qx6w-1XeAg8ChkdJjs&e=> in nature. To put it simply: Emergency says: Act! Crisis says: Transform! Meta-crisis says: How? Responding to the meta-crisis is the figurative ‘hundred-year project’ of cultural transformation, which entails better understanding who and what we are, individually and collectively, in order to be able to fundamentally alter what we are living for, why and how. The challenge of our time is renaissance; an epistemic, cultural and spiritual renewal. That kind of renewal, however, feels both necessary and impossible in a context of economic, political and technological upheaval and cascading ecological collapse. In his essay, Spirituality and Intellectual Honesty (2014), the German Philosopher Thomas Metzinger encapsulated the premise of our challenge: “Conceived of as an intellectual challenge for humankind, the increasing threat arising from self-induced global warming clearly seems to exceed the present cognitive and emotional abilities of our species. This is the first truly global crisis, experienced by all human beings at the same time and in a single media space, and as we watch it unfold, it will also gradually change our image of ourselves, the conception humankind has of itself as a whole. I predict that during the next decades, we will increasingly experience ourselves as failing beings.” Failing beings? Maybe. But there is hope in Metzinger’s premise — “the present cognitive and emotional abilities of our species”. Those abilities of our species are not fixed. We know, as well as we know anything, that human beings can grow and change for the better. Education broadly conceived is how we do that, and the philosophy of education is about the ‘why’ and the ‘what’ of that ‘how’, which becomes applied when we decide to start making sense of it in relation to ‘who’ ‘where’ and ‘when’. Social entrepreneur Paul Hawken’s framing of our predicament in Drawdown (2017) helps indicate why this kind of endeavour should be the curriculum of civilisation: “The build-up of greenhouse gases we experience today occurred in the absence of human understanding…That can tempt us to believe that global warming is something that is happening to us – that we are the victims of a fate that was determined by actions that preceded us. If we change the preposition, and consider that global warming is happening for us – an atmospheric transformation that inspires us to change and reimagine everything we make and do – we begin to live in a different world…We see global warming as…a pathway that awakens creativity, compassion and genius." We need to respond to the emergency, yes, but there is also a crisis with inner and outer dimensions, and layers of complexity that cannot be wished away. The challenge is less about maintenance and more about renewal. Fundamental questions about who we are, and what and how we need to know, have at be at the heart of the societal enterprise of politics, economics and culture – which is why we need an applied philosophy of education. Perspectiva’s Transformative Education Alliance (TEA) therefore aims to devise new methodologies and institutional niches that respond to a fundamental shift: The significance of the distinction between formal (eg schools and universities) informal (eg clubs and societies) and tacit (eg TV and social media) education has almost completely broken down. We are therefore asking what teaching and learning (not necessarily 'schools') should look like today in response to four of our most profound interlocking crises, which together encapsulate our meta crisis (thanks to Perspectiva Associate Zak Stein for an earlier version of this distillation): ï Intelligibility – what is going on? (epistemic/cultural) ï Legitimacy – who has authority to lead and decide and why? (political/legal) ï Capability – do we have what it takes? (educational/economic/anthropological) ï Meaning – what ultimately matters? (spiritual/religious) Perspectiva believes these questions, properly understood, invariably arise together, and we cannot answer them properly without creating new forms of life in the process. TEA is already underway with work on The Digital Ego (Tom Chatfield and Dan Nixon), Wise Activism(Anthea Lawson), Spiritual formation (Mark Vernon), Experimental Facilitation (Pippa Evans) and The Politics of Waking Up (Indra Adnan), and we hope to build the alliance through external relationships in due course. TEA is one of Perspectiva’s three main strands of work. We also have a publishing arm, Perspectiva Press, specialising in short books that provide ‘soul food for expert generalists’ and help social innovators advance their causes through their authorship. We have already published The World we Create<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__systems-2Dsouls-2Dsociety.us17.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D03daa88c3075ee5b17c8a7ce6-26id-3Df95c4372aa-26e-3D59de18c7a1&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=wjF8cZoiFchamTuxBdDEmw&m=Mdwu6Xxpy0aIea9kAjRNVtk9UK0X-MHAZrqnqqWU94w&s=79_j1c3XvRyXgYdU9n0wW0pDDCmnIX1DiTV3IVdwIVU&e=>, and four books are planned for publication later in 2020.

Perspectiva is a registered charity funded by grants from trusts and foundations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my co-founder Tomas Bjorkman for providing the seed funding that made Perspectiva possible in 2016, which allowed us to attract the support of The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, The JJ Trust, Friends Provident Foundation, The Edith Ellis Trust and The Schöpflin foundation.

As part of Perspectiva's mission, we are creating events to explore theory in practice. We are keen to develop an embodied and enactive sense of our ideas. For instance, we have been experimenting with walks that explore the relationship between souls, systems and society in a large global city, and workshops that clarify our emotional responses to the notion of ‘activism’.

Mark will offer an overview of the practice, explain how it arose, and offer a sense of what it can reveal and how it works. He will unpack some of the insights that emerge that will include demonstrations and opportunities to test things out in small groups. We will also be experimenting with the relationship between constellations and improvisation, led by Mark Vernon and Pippa Evans (you can find more out about Pippa and Mark here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__systems-2Dsouls-2Dsociety.us17.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D03daa88c3075ee5b17c8a7ce6-26id-3D2ac58e9ed2-26e-3D59de18c7a1&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=wjF8cZoiFchamTuxBdDEmw&m=Mdwu6Xxpy0aIea9kAjRNVtk9UK0X-MHAZrqnqqWU94w&s=hsDmyV1YlOIOqc8NvSAyzh_pqCswYsbXWWA2LulQQbo&e=>).
