We have been chasing an interview with Phoebe Tickell for some time. (She’s a busy lady). We hope we will manage to catch up with her soon. In the meantime, we want to share this excellent interview by Planet Critical of her work in ‘Imagination Activism’. Phoebe graduated in molecular biology from Cambridge University. Concerned with the need for fundamental
What are “Exiled Capacities”? Much of the time, my mind churns out the same predictable responses to things. If I tried to draw a circle around what I think about most of the time it would have a pretty small circumference. But there are times, more often now, when I am no longer perceiving the world through my thoughts, but
A conversation between Patrick Cassidy and Kirstie Simson. In progressive circles we feel comfortable with the idea of psychological, emotional, and even spiritual development. But what about evolving through the body? What is the difference between the need to train, discipline and control the body, and all the ideas associated with this we have inherited from our culture, and allowing
The Intrusion of Gaia Bruno Latour begins his book Facing Gaia by telling us that although we have known for thirty years we are facing an “ecological crisis,” we have remained “astonishingly calm” about it.

Covid 19 and Returning to China 3rd Space: Welcome Lionel. So, could you give us some background about what you were doing in the UK prior to moving back to China last year. Lionel: Hello Steve, yes. I took my wife and two children to London, in 2018. I was there to do a doctorate at the London campus of
The Burden of Meaning Making Traditionally, for hundreds of years, religion was the source of ethics, the unquestioned authority on how to live and act. In the secular West today, in case you hadn’t noticed, this is no longer the case. The burden of meaning-making is now firmly on our own shoulders. The primary reasons for this are the triumph
Looking at how the progressive world is responding to the meta-crisis, it is encouraging to see an accelerating awareness that we are not in only in a desperate climate and ecological crisis, but even more fundamentally a civilisational and existential one. The response to this is as multifaceted as befits our heterodox times. Everything from Climate Activism to Regenerative Cultures,
Part One Beginnings 3rd Space: I’d like to start with a background question about your life and work. You’re a distinguished legal scholar from the University of Madison and Warwick. You have a postgraduate diploma in jurisprudence from Berlin. You went to the United States to do a PhD in Sociology of Law at Yale. You became one of the
In 2004, the psychologist Michael Eigen wrote a book called, “The Sensitive Self”. He examines sensitivity as our essential humanness, and ultimately as constituting the basis of humane ethics. In this short essay, I am taking the liberty of looking at the concept in a different light. That is, as a way of understanding the privilege that was granted to
