This course situates traditional knowledge in a global and modern context. In the contemporary global world, universal Western technoscience encounters various local, global, and cultural forms of knowledge. We draw on non-Western cultural views of the environment, ways of knowing, and being in the modern technological world. How does
the question of traditional knowledge relate to various lived experiences in the contemporary globalized context? Each session in the course focuses on an issue. We are beginning with historical background, delving into pressing global problems such as biodiversity, law, climate change, and the human relationship with other beings, culminating with reflecting on new critical knowledge to imagine possible futures.
