Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook for the Methodology of Societal Complexity describes the theoretical development of the field and lays the foundation for the application of the Compram Methodology in the context of addressing complex societal problems. As such, it offers a valuable resource for scientists, practitioners, politicians, master and PhD students in the fields of methodology, the social sciences, operational research, management and political science and for all others who are professionally involved in handling complex societal problems. These problems are the kind that fill the front page of quality newspapers; they have a huge impact on society, involve a variety of phenomena and actors, and are therefore difficult to handle. The structured Compram Methodology provides sound guidelines for handling real-life societal problems democratically, sustainably and transparently. Examples of the use of the Compram Methodology are provided in the domain of global safety with regard to healthcare, economics, climate change, terrorism, large city problems, large technological projects and floods. Complex societal problems must be treated as multi-disciplinary, multi-actor, multi-level and often as multi-continental issues. As such, they call for a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor approach that takes into account the emotional aspects of the problem and the problem handling process, including the micro, meso and macro level, which can be accomplished using the methods, models and tools from the field of the Methodology of Societal Complexity. The Compram Methodology improves the problem handling process and increases the quality of interventions and therefore the quality of life. Handling complex societal problems can reduce conflicts, save money and ultimately even save lives. Dorien J. DeTombe is an internationally recognized expert and founder of the Theory of the Methodology of Societal Complexity and the Compram Methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ever, there is an urgent need for intercultural dialogue. For this reason, it makes sense to educate children in this dialogue from an early age. The education system must play a leading role in promoting this vital aim. But where will the teachers find their inspiration? Marc Colpaert shows them the way. Using his own personal story and his rich experience of life as a starting point, he launches the reader on a voyage of discovery to track down the true meaning of the 'other'. This quest will lead us down the highways and byways of 20th century philosophy and psychology. Along the way we will be introduced - in a new and fascinating manner - to Martin Buber, Emmanuel Levinas and Ivan Boszormeyni-Nagy. We look at their works from the perspective of their contribution towards intercultural dialogue. These seminal texts are a spring plank for a new approach toward the experiencing of reality, as expressed by an imaginative new generation of writers and artists, such as Edwin Jacobs, Karen Armstrong, Raimon Panikkar, Durre Ahmad, Kader Abdolah, Chokri ben Chikka and many others. The central conclusion is that reality cannot be perceived simply by using the language of reason, the logos. Every culture - both past and present - has demonstrated that the true meaning of life can only be understood through the use of another language - the language of the mythos. This original and innovative book makes clear that more attention needs to be paid - at all levels of the educational system - to developing the imagination of our young people. Intercultural exchange - particularly with Islam - will not succeed unless the importance of the imaginative element is fully appreciated. This book addresses itself to all educators and challenges them not to lose sight of the myth and the muse in their daily teaching practice. Our rapidly evolving society can only benefit by allowing greater room for intuition and inventiveness in the dialogue between different ethnic groups.
