You don't have to look far to understand the emrgnc philosophy.

Pick up any dictionary, and have a look what comes immediately after 'emergence'. It is: emergency - n. 1. sudden state of danger requiring immediate action, 2. condition requiring immediate treatment.

emrgnc is what precedes and prevents emergency. The ability to consciously think about the impacts of our actions, before they occur, is a unique human quality. Some may argue that we don't exercise this capacity enough - hence the state of apparent emergency we face.

Einstein is attributed with having said: "The world we've made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them."

The philosophy of emrgnc involves a faith in human nature, is one of optimism, and has a leaning towards developmental humanism. Sure humanity has made some errors, but the belief is that everyone is trying their best, with what they know. Eventually though, we will need to enable the next level of thinking (and different ways of being). Because after all, if we cannot solve our own problems - who will?

In thinking about a problem that requires a new solution, all the parts of the answer have usually already been identified. These questions are unanswered, not because we do not have the answer, but because we have not yet formed the correct questions.

To ask the real question takes courage. Finding the right solution is then easy. For the courageous, those who sustain hope for a solution to the problems we are only too familiar with, there is a way to find the future we believe in.

Discovering both the real questions, and the answers, by allowing them to emerge naturally, is the underlying philosophy of emrgnc.
