Catalyzing a Cultural Renaissance The Consilience Project is developing a transmedia body of social theory and philosophy that explains and seeks solutions to the unique challenges we face today. It focuses on the deeper, generator functions beneath the world's major problems, drawing on the best of social theory while showing where existing theories and institutions are no longer adequate to fix the current problem landscape. The aim of the project is to help catalyze a cultural enlightenment that will develop a new set of shared values and capacities adequate to the needs of our time.
