Into the 21st year of the 21st century, we have witnessed how the world 
is mired deeper and deeper into massive crises of the ecological 
conditions that sustain lives on earth, of the economic breakdown, and 
of the outbreak of lasting pandemics, affecting all, particularly those 
made vulnerable by inequalities and injustice dominating how things 
should be run and how lives should be lived. The urgency of the matter 
calls for activists/thinkers (especially those from the global south) to 
think though the problems and ponder upon strategies to revert the 
situation. In the face of the massive nature of our plights, reality 
will be interrogated and critically evaluated philosophically, 
historically and culturally, so as to shed light on financial 
exploitations, armed conflicts, the pandemic, and energy issues which 
blackmail us to turn to nuclear power so as to maintain high energy 
consumption and ways of life while our addiction to fossil fuels is 
increasingly unsustainable. In this connection, modern sciences and the 
practices of traditional medicines will also be reflected upon. As the 
problems that are thrust on us cannot be meaningfully dealt with without 
the efforts and struggles of people self-organizing on the ground, 
legacies of people’s resistance and resilience will constitute our 
central concern, hoping to learn from their wisdoms for new ways of 
relating to one another and to the earth, and new experience for the 
organization of ways of living collectively and democratically for a 
better self and a better world.
