Topic: Learning from Living Systems:  Biomimicry and the Principles of Ecological Civilization

Presenters: Andrew Schwartz

We’re familiar with Dr. William Andrew Schwartz for his long-time leadership roles in the process community:  Executive Director of the Center for Process Studies, and Co-founder and Executive Vice President of the Institute for Ecological Civilization.  He earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy of Religion and Theology at Claremont Graduate University.  As Assistant Professor of Process and Comparative Theology at Claremont School of Theology, his academic interests are broad, including Comparative Religious Philosophies, Process Thought, Ecology, Education and more.  He’s been focused on high-impact philosophy and the role of big ideas in the transition toward ecological civilization.  Explore his website to find podcasts, publications, and courses to remind you of the breadth of his experiences exploring various aspects of ecological civilization.  

This Tuesday he will expand upon the lecture he prepared for last month’s Eco Forum at Claremont, sponsored by the Center for Postmodern Development of China.  Biomimicry is his focus.  What can we learn from living systems about the principles of ecological civilization?
