Life-Coherent Civilization
From World-Bringing to Participatory RepairBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length15h 48m
About this audiobook
Life-Coherent Civilization offers a powerful framework for rethinking civilization from the standpoint of life. Drawing on Humberto Maturana’s biology of the observer, John McMurtry’s life-value philosophy, and Johan Galtung’s theory of violence and peace, Dr. Bichara Sahely develops a practical grammar for asking: What world are we bringing forth? What life is being enabled or disabled? What harm is being hidden, normalized, or repaired?
This audiobook diagnoses the “Great Inversion,” in which economy, law, technology, education, health, governance, and knowledge cease to serve life and begin requiring life to serve them. It then offers the life-coherent vessel, the civil commons, the Life-Coherence Test, and the Field Cycle of Repair as tools for restoring institutions to their proper purpose: protecting, enabling, and regenerating life across persons, communities, ecosystems, and future generations.
