A newsletter about participation in multiple worlds, multiple visions, but one humanity ; a monitor of P2P developments
Compiler: Michel Bauwens, michel@noosphere.cc; P/I is an emanation of the hitherto still virtual FOUNDATION FOR PEER TO PEER ALTERNATIVES
The title refers to the enduring tension between a multitude of worldviews, and their eventual integration. For a full explanation of the rationale behind the newsletter, see issues 1 and 2. An alternative name could be "P2P and Empire" because in practice I mostly focus on a analysis of the crisis of the current system on the one hand, and the emergence of a more participative worldview, which I call "peer to peer", on the other.
Preferred themes: the networked society, cognitive capitalism, Empire and its discontents, emancipatory processes among the 'multitudes' and the possible emergence of a peer to peer civilization, truth-building as a collective and 'dialogical' effort, the challenges posed to traditional religions and humanism by spiritual P2P experiencing and technological transhumanism.
How to subscribe: Write to compiler Michel Bauwens at michel@noosphere.cc or at michelsub2003@yahoo.com.
The later issues of Pluralities/Integration are avaialable online at Integral Visioning.
