Word: pluriversity Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Blend of pluriverse + university. 1. A university, viewed as an institution of tertiary education that is segmented into specialties which do not interact, especially specialties that focus on applications for external organizations. Example: This inquiry is carried on most effectively through academic specialties. They create the modern pluriversity, and in that pluriversity the unity of knowledge is lost. Example: Besides these features, Rutler looks forward to a new union of religion and politics, and of theology and science, and thereby to a transformation of the pluriversity back into a university. 2. A multicultural learning environment where one learns from multiple sources of knowledge, such as the scientific, the traditional, and the spiritual. Example: Should and could we move from a university to the pluriversity? Was this to be a strictly secular or non-secular institution? Who would benefit from the pluriversity, with its new forms of knowledge? Was TK only to be the object of study in a pluriversty as it is in universities or also a subject of study with its faculty and students? Example: For that we need instead of a university, a pluriversity. A pluriversity has the responsibility of educating future generations to live not only in pluri-national states, as has been declared, for example, in the constitutions of Bolivia and Ecuador, but also in a pluri-spistemic and pluri-spiritual world.

Example: To distance himself from the eurocentric concept of modernity, he introduced the concept of "transmodernity," explaining: "A future transmodern culture [...] assumes that the positive moments of modernity (as evaluated through criteria distinct from the perspective of other ancient cultures)[,] will have a rich pluriversity and would be the fruit of an authentic intercultural dialogue that would require bearing clearly in mind existing asymmetries [,,,]" (2010, p. 14).

Example: Born so brightly colored, and fading duller through all those long, grim, dreary, nightmarish days when we were held prisoners of hope, and kept captives by greed.
