Animate Earth

Cardiff sciSCREEN has sister projects around Cardiff which debate ideas. One of these is Philosophy Cafe, and in March 2013 we joined forces with Philosophy Cafe to host a screening of Animate Earth.
Made by an award winning crew, Animate Earth is an exciting project based on the work of Dr Stephan Harding, world-renowned ecologist and colleague of James Lovelock. Talking to leading environmentalists, scientists and spiritual leaders, Harding explores how the over-dominance of analytical thinking in science and in our culture as a whole has blocked our ability to connect with and care for the planet. Harding argues that we need to develop a new approach in science that is based on wisdom and intuitive knowledge working in partnership with sound reasoning and thinking.
