ABSTRACT
The Research Council of Switzerland had already assigned the author a second supervisor, now at the Institute of Development Studies in Geneva. The issue of there being different levels of consciousness actualised in human beings will no longer go away. A better understanding of how different lenses of perception affect group dynamics, and how these gaps function within institutions, where gaps in awareness occur as different paradigms, can only help in understanding differences in the ways people perceive and act accordingly. Recognition that there is a “grid of consciousness” is a future reference point that could explain many conflicts. The difficulty with heterodox economics is how to combine a few universal principles with the many culturally specific social conditions. Specialisation is necessary because one cannot work on everything, but this content should be integrated with the essential insights of other paradigms.
