abstract:
This essay presents a review and appraisal of emerging literature that reflects upon some of the issues about
culture and cultural heritage (culture heritage links and reciprocity), culture as the vital force (role and
perspectives of UNESCO), RWYC - moving on the path of culture and sustainability (role of culture as the
fourth pillar and covering set, and vision of deeply-rooted education), RWYC and message of environmental
education (conscience and consciousness toward understanding and awakening), and culture and architectural
symbolism (the variety, distinction, and spatiality of architectural representation), and culture, cosmos, and
cultivating future (through the recent works of Schafer and Legrand that generated s contemporary debate in
making the future). We propose for an integral balance between a cultural evolution of a spiritual nature, and
science-informed approach of understanding and action; what once physicist Fritjof Capra (1983, p. 306)
proclaims, paraphrasing Chinese saying: “Mystics understand the roots of Tao but not its branches; scientists
understand its branches but not its roots. Science does not need mysticism, and mysticism does not need science; but men and women need both.” In the last two sections appraisal of all the papers of the EdA (vol. 10, nos. 1-2, 2023) is presented.
