Summary
Brian Swimme elucidates the philosophical and scientific underpinnings of humanity's relationship with the universe. He delves into the concepts of the “universe story” as a framework for understanding our existence, our interconnections as “cosmological beings,” and the evolution of humanity's shared knowledge. Through understanding our cosmological origins and the evolutionary saga, Swimme believes we can cultivate a new consciousness, recognizing ourselves as "cosmological beings" intrinsically linked to the cosmos. This expanded awareness, integrating science and spirituality, can lead to a more harmonious and responsible relationship with Earth and its inhabitants. Swimme sees the Earth Charter as an archetypal example of this evolving planetary wisdom, reflecting humanity's growing understanding of its interconnectedness and responsibility for the planet.

Brendan Mackey | Ecological Integrity, Climate Change and the Earth Charter
Release Date: 12/24/2020
Description: Quick Overview In this episode, Professor Mackey reviews the aspiration when the Earth Charter was being drafted and launched, and how such aspiration has been achieved especially with the widespread recognition and commitment. He elaborates on certain principles and shared some stories from behind the scenes of the Earth Charter drafting process. Relating to the current challenges of biodiversity loss, the decline of the democratic process, and climate change, he argues that the Earth Charter provides an ethical guide for people to reflect and react. While SDGs define the noble ends, the Earth Charter not only outlines consistent means but also illustrates the interactions among those ends. Professor Mackey’s example of applying the Earth Charter in his work is an inspiration for more action to incorporate these ethical principles into real life.

Steven Rockefeller | Reflections on Some Earth Charter Principles
Release Date: 12/24/2020
Description: Reflections on Some Earth Charter Principles Quick Overview Every word in the Earth Charter has been carefully chosen upon extensive consultation and intensive deliberation. Professor Rockefeller shares a few stories behind some Earth Charter ideas and principles, such as “Earth” rather than “the Earth,” “the earth,” or “Nature,” and “equitable distribution of wealth” rather than “redistribution of wealth,” among others. He also relates the argument among different groups over the word “compassion,” and over the concept of “intrinsic value,” and how they eventually reached a consensus, sometimes just because of a flash of inspiration. Exceptionally, the case of reproductive health just demonstrates that the Earth Charter does not have to take a position on every single matter for a greater consensus to be built. He reflects on the concept of reverence for life, emphasized by Albert Schweitzer, and how it is weaved in the Earth Charter. He reflects on why the concepts of peace and nonviolence were part of the Earth Charter. Professor Rockefeller explains why the Earth Charter is really about the right relationships and how principle 16f summarizes it all.
