Ontology: The Philosophy of Being
About the Module
If consciousness is primary, how do 'things' arise? We move from the ground of being to the philosophy of interbeing. This module explores relational ontologies that see the universe not as a collection of objects, but a web of dynamic processes and relationships. This is crucial for the Mandala's Ecology and Community domains, fostering a sense of intrinsic connection with all life.
