This maverick work crosses boundaries between academic and popular sources, deploying various interdisciplinary approaches (e.g., comparative philosophy, complex-systems thinking, semiotic pragmatism, phenomenology) to disclose dimensions of living dynamics. Features of these dynamics are appropriated from ancient wisdom, applied to thinking about contemporary problems and potential futures. This eclectic orientation seeks a better grasp of the inherent chaos life presents, which is only increasing on a global scale. Accordingly, its highly syncretic nature presents a global perspective on humanism more broadly, offering a techno-philosophic framework facing and potentially thriving in the midst of systemic complex-chaos.
