Symbiosis and Biosophy :An integrative paradigm for environmental and social philosophy
and a visionary contribution to world harmony.
by Wolfgang Wackernagel
Abstract : Symbiosophy - or "the wisdom of living together" - takes up the questions connected with the new universalist approaches to our contemporary situation. Encompassing numerous disciplines, it stresses all that concerns the blossoming of the diversity of the human, animal and vegetable kingdoms; including the elementary and environmental resources of our planet. That is, all the interdependent links of the Homeric and Macrobian "golden chain of beings". Thus, a "symbiosophic awareness" could help to mollyfy potential future conflicts.

Description :
“Anacapri the Dream” is an adventure game set in the island of Capri, mostly in the upper regions of Capri called Anacapri. You play the role of Dr. Nico N, an expert of the ancient civilizations. You are invited to Anacapri to accomplish a very difficult task: find the extremely powerful, but malicious Obsidian Disk. But what is this Obsidian Disk? Why is it so dangerous? Quickly you will find out that what you think as reality is in fact an illusion - the truth is far beyond what you have imagined…
“Anacapri the Dream” is an explosive mix of mythology, literature, legends and history of the island of Capri. You will interact with real townspeople, legendary and historical Anacapri characters, such as famous doctor and writer Axel Munthe, philosopher Gunnar Adler-Karlsson, as well as several mythical characters such as Nereus, Poseidon, the Siren and the Nereids. Your quest for the Obsidian Disk will plunge you into the magical scenery of the Capri island; you will explore the deep Blue Grotto, sail the sea around the Faraglioni, traverse Tiberius’ Roman villas of Damecuta and Palazzo a Mare, climb up Mount Solaro, wander across the Path of the Forts, visit the mystical hermitage of Cetrella, Villa San Michele and the Philosophical Park. Your journey will eventually lead to the final upsetting revelation and a thrilling alternate ending.
