Cultural Biology course is taught by Humberto Maturana and Ximena Dávila from the Matriztico Institute, Chile

Unindus, the corporate university of the Federation of the Industries of the State of Paraná (Fiep) in partnership with the Matriztico Institute (Santiago, Chile) and the Development Promotion Institute (IPD) is offering a certification course in Cultural Biology, in São Paulo. The course is taught by faculty members from the Matriztico Institute, both specialists on the theme – Humberto Maturana and Ximena Dávila – and it targets entrepreneurs, business executives, managers, and investigators.

The institution has created one more opportunity for anyone interested in the program that started on August 10. This meeting will be held on December 13, from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, with the purpose of repeating the content taught in the first module thus allowing the program to proceed. The registration deadline is December 3 at www.unindus.org.br.

The Cultural Biology Program’s duration is three years and it is divided into three annual modules each one for the duration of three weeks requiring physical attendance. The content will offer the participants a chance to dive into a different but possible world steered by values like hearing, cooperation, concerted efforts, and ethical behavior towards a common projects

The most surprising contribution of the Cultural Biology Program starts with the investigation of the scientist Humberto Maturana on the origin of humans more than three million years ago and is completed with Ximena Dávila’s intuition about the cultural origin of all pain and suffering.

From this “merger” of points of view there emerges the Cultural-Biological Matrix of Human Existence, which is the starting point of the powerful reflection on how humans “inhabit” collective living and language. Western culture has mused over the question of being – Who are we? What explains our existence? And it looks for an explanation on a reality that exists outside of us. The question, rather, should be about doing – How do we do what we do? How do we build the world in which we live? – This changes everything. It gives rise to a responsible ethical action based on three pillars: knowledge, understanding, and timely and effective immediate action.

Worldwide Renown - Humberto Maturana and Ximena Dávila accumulate long- range experience in this field and are known the world over by their work. They coordinate the activities of the program and invite us to think about the human phenomenon and its biological-cultural essentials based on living, knowing, and loving, which in an inseparable way comprise the fundamentals of the Ethical Matrix of Human Existence.

Maturana created the field of the biological phenomenon that he calls the Biology of Knowledge. He also created the understanding of the biological fundamentals of humans that he calls the Biology of Love.

The program provides a better understanding of what constitutes living for all living beings, through the study of the Autopoiesis Theory, one of the scientific notions of greater transversal impact in the history of modern science.

The main objectives of the program consist in living within organizations and society; organizational sustainability; cooperation in common projects; impeccability in professional activity; fundamentals on ethical behavior; valuing diversity and multiple objectivities; innovating as a conservation and sustainability process; organizational and social sustainability; increasing industrial productivity; ethical responsibility in favor of environmental sustainability.
