Philosophy
Professionals trained for, and content with, merely executing the will of others just as easily serve a tyranny as a democracy.
Professionals in many fields find themselves losing voice in decisions that are most reasonably theirs to contribute to. Novices in their professions are taught to give lip service to a variety of organizational nostrums, but anything other than a shallow acquaintance with the how, the what and -- especially -- the why of reflective practice is often de-emphasized.
A self-governing future requires reflective practitioners who command a critical understanding of their professional thought and practice; ones who are ready and able to play a meaningful role in decision-making. NewFoundations provides resources and a forum for realizing this purpose.
Practice
To support critical, reflective practice in a variety of different occupations and professions, while generating funds needed to maintain the enterprise at a rather Spartan level of consumption, NewFoundations typically:
1. in reciprocal exchange, places service advertising from external sources without cost on the website.
2. charges minimal fees for relevant external commercial advertising placement (See "An invitation to become involved with NewFoundations.")
3. solicits authors for commercial publication with substantially higher than normal participation in profit sharing.
4. Produces low-cost educational and informational materials for use in higher education and industry.
5. Maintains a library of contributed critical materials in a variety of fields for public, non-commercial use.
We hope you find our endeavors to be of use in dealing with your concerns. -- GKC & EGR
