Ideological, Cultural, and Linguistic Roots of Educational Reforms to Address the Ecological Crisis.

C.A. (Chet) Bowers

In this volume C.A. (Chet) Bowers, whose pioneering work on education and environmental and sustainability issues is widely recognized and respected around the world, brings together a carefully curated selection of his seminal work on the ideological, cultural, and linguistic roots of the ecological crisis; misconceptions underlying modern consciousness; the cultural commons; a critique of technology; and educational reforms to address these pressing concerns. In the World Library of Educationalists series, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume.
Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself.
Contributors to the series include: Michael Apple, James A. Banks, Joel Spring, William F. Pinar, Stephen J. Ball, Elliot Eisner, Howard Gardner, John Gilbert, Ivor F. Goodson, and Peter Jarvis.

Genealogia dell’ecointelligenza: una ricerca tra cognizione, sistemi e potere

Questo articolo nasce da un percorso di ricerca personale sul concetto di ecointelligenza, intesa non come attitudine soggettiva ma come campo sistemico in trasformazione. Dalla psicologia cognitiva di Gardner alla pedagogia ecologica di Bowers, fino alla critica geopolitica dell’intelligenza artificiale in chiave postdigitale, il testo ripercorre le tappe di una riflessione che oggi trova nuovi campi di applicazione: IA ambientale, sorveglianza urbana, modelli cognitivi estrattivi. In questa prospettiva, l’ecointelligenza si configura come capacità di leggere ambienti ibridi, accettarne le contraddizioni e agire senza scorciatoie. In chiusura, si suggerisce la lettura di Le tre ecologie di Guattari, testo chiave per ripensare il rapporto tra ecologia, soggettività e potere.
