What is integral politics? What are its distinctive features and core principles and how can it take different shapes in different contexts?
The workshop consists of two parts. In the first part, it invites participants into a joint exploration of what doing politics based on an integral worldview, lens and paradigm could look and feel like.
In the second part, it presents intermediate results from the EU-funded Erasmus+ project LiFT Politics (2019-2022) which is exploring new paradigm post-post-modern approaches of doing politics in a comparative European perspective. While we see that many political innovators share similar motivations, visions, methods and tools for doing politics more collaboratively, their approaches also differ considerably, depending on the context they are working in – and their own “cosmic address”.
I will propose a map that helps to navigate the emerging ecosystem of integral politics in Europe and beyond.
