Complex problems can only be overcome with complex solutions. This dictum by Albert Einstein also applies to current world problems such as climate change, species extinction, the littering of our planet, and the growing gap between rich and poor. They overwhelm individual scientific disciplines. Therefore, they can only be solved through transdisciplinarity, i.e. beyond the individual disciplines in interaction with empirical knowledge of different provenance and philosophical reflection.This first volume of the book series "Transdisciplinary Management of Social and Ecological Crises" explains how transdisciplinarity is to be understood in general, what approaches exist, and how they contribute to solving the various world problems.In this context, the book addresses, among other things, the replacement of man's claim to dominion over nature, the overcoming of culturally determined boundaries in human communities, and integrative and agile management methods in business, politics, art, and society. It deals with a sustainable circular economy, new forms of politics in the interest of all instead of a few, learning from artists, healthy and environmentally sound nutrition, and spiritual mindfulness in dealing with oneself and other ways of life.Thus, the book is aimed at a broad audience from different disciplines interested in the perspective of and interaction with other disciplines to solve global problems.Chapter "Methodology of Transdisciplinarity–Levels of Reality, Logic of the Included Middle and Complexity" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

The world is in crisis at every level: the planet, humanity, and all kinds of human communities, including working communities. The result is likely to be violence and chaos. And yet, man lives and can only live with others. Relationships in all their forms therefore need to be developed with a view to building a common future.However, when this in-between has been broken, when it is no longer possible to get along, when violence threatens or develops in a sometimes dramatic way, it may be necessary for both sides to call on an external third party.This book is based on decades of professional experience in the practice of corporate mediation. It examines the crucial role of mediators in resolving conflicts and fostering understanding in various contexts. By exploring real-life case studies and theoretical frameworks, the book offers valuable insights into how mediation can be a powerful tool for creating a harmonious and sustainable future.

The accumulation of risks, at all levels of reality, that are currently assailing Humanity are not anecdotal. There are manifestations of the end of one civilization and the potential emergence, beyond chaos, of another one.However, understanding the significance of this transformation, which is already underway, requires a distanciation from the techno-industrial "village" and its confinement within inherited and sef-evident certainties. This approach invites the traveler to stand at another level of reality in order to discover a being that requires, in order to penetrate it, other logics than those that underpin the village's discourse. This distanciation is the beginning of a real prospective view of the unknown future.Essential reading for scholars in critical management studies, systems theory, philosophy, and environmental humanities, this book offers a synthesis of historical analysis, cultural critique, and transdiscipinary reflection, calling for a radical reorientation of thought and practice in the face of planetary precarity.
