Walking the Pilgrimage (2~17, Jan, 2010, Wakayama, Japan)
Environmental ethics enables us to find appropriate ways to articulate ecosystem values, which calls for nonlinear complex thinking beyond traditional scientific methods. Today, while the devastating effects of the anthropogenic climate crisis are clear, rich and diverse means exist for knowing, understanding, valuing the world and taking action. This calls for a powerful coalition of science, ecohumanities and arts with a solid foundation in environmental ethics. Through this course, we wish to learn and also communicate a profound humbleness and appreciation of the Planet Earth: “to underscore our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known (Carl Sagan)".
Jan 8 & 9
A free weekend to explore places of individual interest. Some travel to Osaka, Kyoto and others explore vicinities of Wakayama or just rest and reflect.
