An Other View of Integral Futures : De / reconstructing the IF Brand
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper points to some limitations of the narrow version of integral futures (IF) as represented in the recent special issue of Futures (2008, Vol 40, Issue 2). I also propose several ways that the IF brand could be refreshed through a broader and deeper approach to integral futures by way of a scholarly engagement with other kindred discourses. The main focus of this paper is to open out beyond the “myth of the given” in relation to the notion of integral and in this way broaden and deepen possibilities for integral futures.
