This book is the result of the unique international event 'Art meets Science and Spirituality in a changing Economy'
- a forum for artists, scientists, representatives of spiritual traditions and experts on economic and social developments to discuss the fundamental issues facing us today.
Bringing representatives of the three cultural pillars into contact with economists stimulates a reconstruction of the 'wholeness' of society which has been lost in preceding centuries. More accessible than the words scientists and philosophers use to explain their views is the imagery of contemporary visual art which allows us to perceive our culture's current position. Learning to read the visual language of modern art and being aware of recent scientific, philosophical and economic theories helps us to be better equipped for reshaping society and remodeling our economy for the future.
The panel members appeal to the world for help in transforming our competitive society into a more compassionate one.
