Any effective response to an uncertain future will require
independently thinking individuals working together. Human ideas
and actions have led to unprecedented changes in the relationships
among humans, and between humans and the Earth. Changes in the air
we breathe, the water we drink and the energy we use are evidence
of Nature - which has no special interest in sustaining human life
- looking out for itself. Even the evolutionary context for humans
has altered. Evolutionary pressures from the digital communication
revolution have been added to those from natural systems. For
humans to meet these challenges requires social re-organisation
that is neither simple nor easy. Independent Thinking in an
Uncertain World explores workable, field-tested strategies from the
frontiers of creating a viable future for humans on Earth. Based on
research results from hundreds of social learning workshops with
communities worldwide, many of them part of Australian National
University's Local Sustainability Project, authors with diverse
interests explore the gap between open-minded individual thinking
and closed socially defined knowledges. The multiple dimensions of
individual, social and biophysical ways of thinking are combined in
ways that allow open-minded individuals to learn from one another.
