Daily Dialogue Blog Entries
It's Day Two of this dialogue (Day One, depending on how you're counting), and responses so far are falling into three categories.
First, there is the matter of effectiveness. How does one take a definition of sustainability and give it a forceful presence in the world? Steve Brant recommends a strongly collaborative approach, citing recent initiatives such as Yahoo Answers and Google Answers.
Second, there are issues related to scope and languaging. For gfriend, the language of the Material Domain principle is neither "clear" nor "sufficient."
Finally, there is the issue of categorization. For instance, where in Michael's definition does "ethics" belong? Ray suggests it belongs in the social domain; Andrew Owens suggests it's more holistic and an aspect of all domains.
We're just getting started; it'll be interesting to see where these threads go.
