NewFoundations:
About Us
"... it is crucial for theoretical and practical
purposes alike
that we come to terms with the idea of an intellectual and social
order
that can function effectively even in the presence of dissensus."
-- Nicholas Rescher, (1993) PLURALISM, 4.

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
