Gopi Upreti on ResearchGateWelcome to paradigmshifts.info, the home page of my blog and published books, articles, opinions, and unique perspectives. I delve into various critical topics, including environmentalism, climate change, sustainability, and development ethics, pursuing a critical paradigm of thinking and understanding that can help us to transition from the current dangerous Anthropocene epoch to a more compassionate epoch guided by ecological wisdom informed collective human consciousness.
Springer Nature recently released my book "Ecosociocentrism: The Earth First Paradigm for Sustainable Living". In this book, I am advancing the hypothesis that "Ecosociocentrism: The Earth First Paradigm" can serve as the basis for our journey from current Anthropocene towards the Symbiocene epoch, characterized by humanity's harmonious symbiotic relationship with the living system on planet Earth culminating in the emergence of an eco-civilization that makes it possible for humanity to live in a harmonious, symbiotic co-existence with the diverse living system in Nature.
In this book, I have brought perspectives from various domains including Ecology, Environmental and Earth Sciences, Global Poltical Economy, and Development Ethics. exploring the possibilities and pathways to transition into this enlightened epoch, where our actions and values align with ecological balance and holistic well-being as postulated by Buddhism's Ecodharma concept (Doctrine of Dependent Co-origination or Pratitiyasamudpada) and modern System Theory. Join me on this transformative journey as we seek to create a world where humans and the natural world can coexist harmoniously. Let us start a discourse on these pressing global issues and engage in the conversation about forging a more sustainable future. I would greatly appreciate your feedback comments, and review on this important subject of global significance.
