If paradigms are applied concepts/ideas and new ones resolve the anomalies of the present problematic one, then why don’t we analyze systems, bodies of knowledge or areas of human endeavor conceptually/philosophically???
Since “The Enlightenment” its largely an increasingly creeping intellectual paradigm of Science Only which avoids and even forbids anything that smacks of spiritual input. That and humanity’s proclivity for addictive egoistic orthodoxies which is what an intellectual paradigm of Science Only is in spades.
However, an intellectual paradigm of Wisdom which is the intellectual process of the integration of opposites characterized by a graceful open mindedness of free and free flowing thinking and inclusiveness of the scientific method, is exactly the prescription we need. As I like to say: “Science is wonderful, necessary and delicious…and it exists entirely within the digestive tract of Wisdom.”
And this is why we need a Wisdomics-Gracenomics to replace the human civilization-long failed and largely inhumane economics we struggle with today.
