Our inquiry
Rather than offering predetermined answers, the Institute cultivates inquiry around questions that increasingly shape humanity's future.
- What is civilization?
- How can humanity cultivate forms of development that integrate material and spiritual dimensions of life?
- What can different civilizational traditions contribute to our shared future?
- How might science, technology, education, ecology, governance, and culture contribute to human flourishing?
- How can local communities and global institutions become more coherent with one another?
- What forms of cooperation will an increasingly interconnected humanity require?
