Course: Opening the Eye of Value During The Meta-Crisis (With Zak Stein)
“The collapse of value at the heart of global culture is the root cause of proliferating Global Catastrophic and Existential Risks making up the Metacrisis” - David J. Temple
David J. Temple is a fictional personality created for enabling ongoing collaborative authorship at the Center for World Philosophy and Religion. The two primary authors behind David J. Temple are Marc Gafni and Zak Stein. For different projects specific writers will be named as be part of the collaboration.
In his new book, First Principles and First Values, David J Temple has argued that the collapse of value at the heart of global culture is the root cause of proliferating Global Catastrophic and Existential Risks making up the Metacrisis. Exploring the truth of this suggests that radical educational innovation is needed to (re)align humans with the Universal Field of Cosmic Value. Essential to the survival of humanity is the capacity to engage the "eye of value"—the human ability to perceive intrinsic value. The question of what kinds of capacities are needed for humanity to navigate planetary meta-crisis reframes our debates. Concrete recommendations and ongoing projects are discussed, in the context of the imminent planetary catastrophe, driven in large part by the incapacitation—the blinding—of the eye of value.
