Complex problems require complex solutions, a principle applicable to issues like climate change, species extinction, and the widening gap between rich and poor. These challenges transcend individual scientific disciplines and demand a transdisciplinary approach, integrating empirical knowledge from various sources with philosophical reflection. This first volume of a series on transdisciplinary management explores the concept of transdisciplinarity, outlining existing approaches and their contributions to addressing global issues. It discusses the need to replace humanity's dominion over nature, break down cultural boundaries, and implement integrative management methods across business, politics, art, and society. Key topics include sustainable circular economies, inclusive political systems, learning from artists, promoting healthy and environmentally sound nutrition, and fostering spiritual mindfulness. The book targets a diverse audience from various disciplines, encouraging collaboration and interaction to tackle pressing global challenges.
