The Sky–Earth System: A Manifesto for Learning to See and Think as a Generic Ancient
By Justin Shaffner and Adam Louis-Klein
This manifesto introduces Sky–Earth Systems Science (SESS) as a cosmological metaframe that replaces the Modern Nature/Culture divide and restores the Human to the Center of the Universe. It argues that the crises of our times—climate catastrophe, inequality, dispossession—stem from the cosmology of the Moderns. SESS invites thinking generically, with everyone and everywhere, alongside revival movements of the Ancients across Amazonia, Melanesia, Africa, and beyond.
