Wise culture
Origin: Lat. sapĭdus, cultūra
Vision of the possible future that may have emerged since Huxley called it “the Perennial tradition” equally to the work of modern interprets such as Ken Wilber, and from the transpersonal psychology. It suggests that the key to the real cultural progress has more to do with the human development, the integration of the different aspects of the individual and a more spiritualized image than what it does with the “external” development, purely in the science and technology. Frequently used as a contrast to the industrial culture, for illustrating lately deficiencies. However, the “real” future may achieve a balance between these “internal” and “external” perspectives. It implies a concept fundamental to German philosophy and epistemology and refers to a wide world perception. It refers to the framework through which an individual interprets the world and interacts in it.
