86 perspectives on Transitions

"Transition is that moment when balance, imperceptibly accumulated, tips towards something that nothing had made it possible to foresee - and yet, something irreducibly new has begun."Raphaël Liogier, ForewordIt is this reality that eighty-six authors from twenty countries across Europe, Africa and Asia capture, delivering analyses, testimonies and proposals drawn from their respective fields, under the direction of Jean-Louis Bischoff, Director of the Doctoral School, and Claude Vivier Le Got, Chairwoman of the FEDE. Structured in four parts: educational, ecological, digital, societal and demographic transitions, this publication examines the profound nature of these transformations and the levers by which one may become an active participant. The central question is that of the pharmakon: depending on use and dosage, the same tools can be either poison or remedy. How can we collaborate without outsourcing? How can we move through transitions without losing what constitutes us?86 perspectives on Transitions, conceived by the Federation for European Education and prefaced by Raphaël Liogier, is a collective reference work on the transitions that are reshaping our societies. An essential read for anyone who refuses to endure their era passively.
