2002 Selected Websites on Integrative Knowledge Integrative Knowledge and Transdisciplinarity Project - / - Selected Websites on Integrative Knowledge (interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, general systems) derived from work on the Integrative Knowledge and Transdisciplinarity Project (see commentaries). This developed 600 profiles of the many forms of integrative knowledge in connection with the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential  International Center for Transdisciplinary Research (CIRET) Longing for Unified Knowledge by Ivan M. Havel (CTS Prague) Web Sites on Interdisciplinarity and the Liberal Arts (CIRLA)  Sponsored by The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in the Liberal Arts Association for Integrative Studies Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in the Liberal Arts (CIRLA, Augustana University College) Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Science and Cultural Theory (Duke University).

PCP tries to tackle age-old philosophical questions with the help of the most recent cybernetic theories and technologies. Stated more precisely, the Project's aim is the computer-supported collaborative development of an evolutionary-systemic philosophy. International Association for Cybernetics International Federation for Systems Research International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis International Institute of Informatics and Systemics (IIIS) Santa Fe Institute International Society of Unified Science (ISUS) is a group of researchers studying Dewey B. Larson's Reciprocal System of theory. The premise of the theory is that the universe is comprised of motion--as a relationship between space and time--and that all phenomena is nothing more than a manifestation of motion, in an ever-increasing complexity of rotations and translations. ReVision (Heldref): Journal with a commitment to the future of humanity and the Earth, ReVision emphasizes the transformative dimensions of current thought. Radical constructivism: an unconventional approach to the problem of knowledge and knowing. It starts from the assumption that knowledge, no matter how it is defined, is in the heads of persons, and that the thinking subject has no alternative but to construct what he or she knows on the basis of his or her own experience. What we make of experience constitutes the only world we consciously live in.
