The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find Our Place in the Universe

The Web of Meaning addresses one of the deepest dimensions of the Great Transition: the worldview through which we understand ourselves and our relationship with the living Earth. Jeremy Lent argues that the dominant culture’s experience of separation—from nature, from one another, and even between mind and body—is neither inevitable nor consistent with what contemporary systems science and many traditional wisdom traditions reveal about reality. Drawing these perspectives together, he develops a worldview of profound interconnectedness in which humans are participants within an unfolding web of life rather than separate beings standing outside it. In Three Horizons terms, the book helps loosen the underlying assumptions of Horizon 1 while articulating the worldview foundations of an emerging Horizon 3 ecological civilization. It strongly resonates with the Planet Project’s commitments to truth-seeking, interconnectedness, systems literacy, sacred regard for life, and the emergence of a planetary culture rooted in belonging rather than separation.
