Education for Post-Growth

Education for post-growth entails both cognitive education and character education.
The transition from growth to post-growth will be a worldwide crisis of biblical proportions.
At such times of intense crisis, subjective character is as important as objective knowledge.
This edition includes several articles on critical issues of social and ecological justice, and supplements on human relations and global transition scenarios. The sequence of articles follows the see ~ judge ~ act pattern (more or less, with some overlaps) and it is becoming increasingly clear that the forthcoming transition from growth to post-growth is not likely to be fair and peaceful if global population and consumption keep growing. Can most humans adapt to supply constraints? Peacefully?
