| Aim: | Seeing from global and long historical perspective, in order to pursue the sustainable future, it is apparent that present situation of the planetary environmental problem requires another thinking than ours. It neccesitates non-ordinary and innovative mode of commitment for the knowledge production. But how is it possible? Sapienship is the foundation which is established by Dr. Yuval Noah Harari, the author of the international acclaimed book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Based on his profound insight on the history of human kind, the foundation is trying to find new ways of knowledge making and dissemination for this environmental and societal change including natural degradation, runaway of technology, and threat of global war. In this “Idea Exchange Round” table held at Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN), Kyoto, we invite two speakers from the foundation and hear their praxis and philosophy and discuss with them. Also, the round table will have a guest from Okinawa, the southern island of Japan, and investigates the problem of what kind of role does knowledge play in sustaining traditional culture in the future. Through it, we try to figure out what is the suitable mode of thinking to find out a new way of knowledge praxis and production in the era of planetary change. |
