About this video
At this point in our video series you will now be aware that we believe modern society is facing inevitable, and probably unwelcome, change in many aspects of life. What will this mean for us in future? In this video Phil Hanlon makes the argument that, in order to inhabit the future, we need new ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ lives – and we know from our own past that such change has been achieved before, at various pivotal points in history. We can also learn from much that is comparatively new in science (quantum mechanics, chaos and complexity theories, for example), which tells us that neither the physical world nor its human inhabits are just complex machines. Phil suggests that we now need a more global form of consciousness if we are all to inhabit a just and sustainable future: new ways of thinking, being and doing will all be needed to help us face the enormous challenges of this transformation.
