Center for Applied Dialectics

Manifesto

  • There is a fascinating emerging body of knowledge in the field of adult development.
  • Notably, the insights around cognitive development are not fully accessible yet.
  • How would our world look if we applied these evolving insights to the fields of businesses, education, politics etc?
  • CAD, the Center of Applied of Dialectics, opens up a platform for practitioners in the field of adult development, integrating research into their practice, exchanging findings and thereby nourishing each other, empowering others to do likewise.
  • Our mission is to grow the understanding of dialectical thinking, not as something that is abstract and of use only to high-minded philosophers, but as a practical tool for all adults to apply in thinking about the complex problems that surround us in today’s world.
