Complexity and the New Enlightenment
-
Elisabeth-Herz-Kremenak-Saal
Plenary
/
in englischer SpracheHumanity is increasingly interconnected and the planet is becoming ever harder to maintain as a stable place for our species. Increased complexity offers both tremendous potential and threat to our survival. Does this mean that we are heading for a new era of self-inflicted immaturity? In this panel we want to discuss if science can offer strategies to avoid new dangers and what science can contribute to the “New Enlightenment”.
