International & Transdisciplinary Symposium on Advanced Future Studies
February 8-10, 2017

Beyond Boundaries:
Exploring the Creative Evolution of Transdisciplinary Studies
Scope:We are living in the face of dramatically changing circumstances through thecomplex interactions between humans, organizations, societies, and so on. Ourworld is more global than ever; and thus it looks like a huge system involving
systems nested within systems. By focusing on “external” agents, we have tried
to solve serious problems, although, such intensive efforts have not succeededvery well. The reason for this is that some of our solutions have seemed to solve
the existing problems at first, but eventually created further problems due to thechain of hidden causation. Even with a better understanding of the individualsystems involved, we have hardly controlled the systems at all. Because of suchself-nested structures, these systems often exhibit abrupt disruptions just likeglobal financial crises and unexpected consequences even without natural
disasters or human errors.
Certain features of these disruptions seem to be surprisingly consistent,
despite the diversity of their details. It is now time to attack the unsolved
problems on the basis of “transdisciplinary” discussions among different
disciplines such as ecology, economics, cognitive science, and so on. In solving
serious problems, we need radical new approaches instead of our habitual wayof thinking. Two different kinds of approaches have been studied in different
fields. One is based on a system-design perspective: we should not intend tocontrol systems for avoiding errors, but to design systems ready for failures.
This is relating to an emerging field of “Resilience” (Zolli, 2012). Presumably,
we will learn about dynamical features typical of resilient systems by studying
living systems. Another is more or less a human-oriented approach, as wehuman beings are considered as parts of systems. It was pointed out that thecentral issue of our time across all system levels emerges from our “internal”
condition (Scharmer, 2009). Without changing our thinking ways relating to
our internal condition, we will not be able to solve serious problems.
The present “Transdisciplinary Symposium” will invite both approaches, as
they are closely related to each other. It is our hope to develop new perspectives
and new actions toward our future through stimulating discussions beyond
different disciplines.
