SEMINAL WORKS
CUTTING EDGE THINKING
The Vital Agents Reader
Our work is organised around three territories: Focus, Vitality, and Presence. Each one names a human capacity that the pursuit of convenience has quietly eroded, and around which a significant counter-movement is now building. This reading list is the intellectual foundation of that work. It is the body of thinking we return to, argue with, and build from.
It is organised into two tiers within each territory:
– Seminal Works: the canonical texts that established the intellectual groundwork.
– Cutting-Edge Research & Thinking: which reflects the most current scholarship, journalism, and practitioner discourse.
The research landscape across all three territories is moving rapidly. New empirical work, new policy developments, and new cultural signals are emerge constantly. This Reader is therefore a living document, updated regularly.
