FROM REGENERATIVE CULTURES TO LIFE-COHERENT BIOREGIONING
Strengthening the Ontological, Normative, Political-Economic, and Institutional Foundations of Living in Right RelationshipBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length6h 31m
About this audiobook
From Regenerative Cultures to Life-Coherent Bioregioning develops a rigorous framework for living in right relationship with people, place, and the wider community of life. Inspired by Daniel Christian Wahl’s regenerative thought, Bichara Sahely extends the conversation into ontology, ethics, political economy, governance, education, technology, migration, Indigenous authority, and institutional design. At its centre is the principle of life coherence: social arrangements should protect, restore, and enlarge living capacities and their enabling conditions without creating avoidable harm elsewhere. The book introduces the Life-Coherent Regeneration Compass, a regenerative indicator ecology, principles for institutional design, policy directions, and a research agenda. It offers a practical and philosophical guide for moving from external crisis management toward reflexive participation in life’s ongoing regeneration.
