QUESTIONS
-
What gives you hope?
The taking into account of ecology and the interest of a growing part of the population, especially amongst young people, for the animal cause are signs of a new age that I call the Age of the Living—in which we accept our common vulnerability and have a relationship with others that is not a relationship of domination. -
How does change happen?
Profound changes take place through a reorganization of one’s representations and one’s values. This has an impact on one’s emotions and one’s behavior. However, often it is a personal crisis or a shock that triggers the questioning of one’s habits and ways, which leads to freeing oneself from alienating traditions and outdated representations. -
What is the best advice you ever got?
Listen to your heart and dare to think for yourself, but sometimes also against yourself, to find the best way to take part in the collective work of building a more sustainable and fairer world, for both human beings and animals.

Discussion Paper
The Integrative Power of the HumanitiesOut of crises comes the new: flood disasters, drought, heat waves, forest fires and other extreme events are accompanied by great uncertainty - the systemic connection of these crises and the consequences for our future thinking and actions are all too clear. What we need are proposals for sustainable change and new spaces for thinking and action. What we need is increased involvement of the humanities and their integrative power.
