Line of research/ Foundations

How does our conception of the world relate to the challenges of our time? What does it mean to do things right? How should we relate to each other and act? How can we find meaning and integrity in an exhausted paradigm? Based on these and other questions, we articulate frameworks of thought and methodologies to explore our way of understanding and feeling the world.

Exploring the foundations for articulating a healthier paradigm must be based on broadening our perspective to expand the soul of exploration. This search requires both scientific rigour and philosophical clarity, as well as the intervention of disciplines that build bridges to action, such as economics and sociology. We also draw on the power of art to access spaces of experience and knowledge that are off-limits to the instruments of reason. We follow the thread that links essence with action, redefining mistreated concepts such as values, ethics, vision, and purpose. We wish to contribute to articulating a system of thought that structures this semantic territory with coherence and rigour, from different perspectives and with an ethical ambition commensurate with the challenges and urgency of our generation.

Our exploration is structured around a path that traverses the main areas of philosophy and knowledge in a non-linear and organic way. We use the image of a tree as a metaphor. It shows an organic connection between a profound view of the complexity of the world—essence/roots—the vision we strive to achieve—projection/trunk—and the action we take—action/crown.
