Cultural mature perspective is obviously pertinent to understanding human systems. What about the non-human, to understanding the inanimate, nature, the divine?
It is certainly pertinent to understanding how and why we have understood the inanimate, nature, and he divine in the odd and often contradictory ways we have through the course of the human story. It can also assist us in going further. For example, it assists us in formulating ways of thinking that attempt the reconcile the historically conflicting realities and science and religions (CST offers one approach) and in teasing apart attempts to do so that at least begin to succeed from those fall for conceptual traps. It also invites even more encompassing big-picture “whole ball of wax” reflections and provides tools for separating approaches that hold promise from those that can’t ultimately serve us.
