The Consilience Project is a publication of the Civilization Research Institute. Although The Consilience Project is no longer releasing new articles at a regular cadence, it will continue to publish related content at varying intervals.
The Consilience Project was founded in order to explore and address some of the profound challenges facing public sensemaking at a time of rapid technological change. Its original set of publications aimed to describe the state of our information commons and uncover the roots of the challenges facing open societies. The Consilience approach is about bringing together multiple perspectives, so that a clearer understanding may emerge from the synergies between different viewpoints.
