TOWARDS A NON-RELIGIOUS SPIRITUALITY<\/a><\/h2>
9 September, 2024<\/div>

We are facing one of the most profound periods of change in human history. This mutation is forcing us to be aware that we have to construct our systems and ways of life for ourselves, while rapid and frequent changes occur in our societies of continuous innovation.\r\n\r\nTo be able to guide our future, we must investigate what is happening, as well as the consequences arising \u2013 in all fields of our life \u2013 from the economic, social, cultural and religious events that are taking place before our eyes. We have to study what is occurring in our societies in order to calibrate what is happening to the language of the religious traditions of the past and their age-old legacy. Attributing the crisis in religion to the breakdown of culture is one way of evading the serious problem. The cause of this situation has been the general evolution of culture and its consequences.<\/p><\/div>

The Consequences of New Technosciences (TC)<\/a><\/h2>
7 September, 2021<\/div>

The wealth of new technologies (Big Data, IA, robotics, nanotechnology, nanotubes, nanofibres, biotechnology, quantum computing, etc.) currently undergoing exponential growth must force us to seriously consider how we humans wish to live with the knowledge, technology and possibilities \u2013\u00a0 both good and bad \u2013 that come along with it.<\/p><\/div>

Amazing day-after coronavirus disease global crisis<\/a><\/h2>
17 April, 2020<\/div>

For a long time, institutions do not properly work as well as citizens are deeply upset and annoyed with these institutions. They are looking for a real change in society which will be able to fix this sort of things which do not properly work. Tings must be changed.\r\n\r\nIt has been a long time, since the option for the Knowledge Society (KS) is not only an option. It is the real way which must be followed. This KS is absolutely unavoidable. It is already going on in several fields. This option for the KS should be more logically hierarchical with any of the contradictions that a heartless and exploiting capitalism handles all the potentiality of technosciences as well as the huge possibilities foreseen because of them. It seems that the severe health crisis after the coronavirus pandemic and all its effects might be the suitable instance to drive definitely society from an exploiter capitalism industrial society into a consistently one structured on a knowledge basis.\r\n\r\nEvery kind of dismantling which will undoubtedly follow the coronavirus may be the chance to get the big social transformation. On the other hand, it might be a missed occasion, and all the efforts would be focused on re-setting the way of life destroyed by the coronavirus, as we have seen it happened several times before.<\/p><\/div>

The Bodhisattva Path in the Trump Era<\/a><\/h2>
18 January, 2017<\/div>

A talk given at St. Paul\u2019s United Methodist Church (November 22, 2016) \r\nTranscribed by Jeffrey Fuller and edited by David Loy ---\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s been two weeks today since the election, and many of us are still in a state of shock \u2014traumatized, disheartened if not depressed, anxious, angry, fearful and somewhat confused, wondering what\u2019s going to come next \u2014 and wondering if there might be some silver lining to what\u2019s happening. My response today has two parts. First I\u2019d like to identify a very real silver lining, or at least the possibility of a silver lining, depending on how we respond to the situation. And then I\u2019d like to say a bit about what I think is the most important contribution of Buddhist teachings to this situation, which can help us understand and respond to it.\r\n<\/p><\/div>

The Tasks of Axiological Epistemology<\/a><\/h2>
9 October, 2016<\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Axiological epistemology, or know-how on human axiological issues, must be based on our condition as animals. All living beings, as the creatures with needs that they are, interact with the environment in which they live in a way that is specific, sensory and axiological. We humans are no exception. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Axiological epistemology must account for of our unique nature as living creatures defined as such by their ability to speak. Speech is what makes us viable animals and, therefore,…<\/p><\/div>
