43 ideas47 connections

Zak Stein is a philosopher of education with an Ed.D. from Harvard University who works at the intersection of human development, integral theory, and civilizational risk. Co-founder of Lectica and the Consilience Project, his book Education in a Time Between Worlds argues that educational transformation is a precondition for navigating civilizational collapse, applying developmental psychology and integral frameworks to questions of collective capacity.
