Souleymane Bachir Diagne’s thought-provoking presentation at N2 2024 challenges us to rethink the noosphere as more than a natural evolution of global consciousness. While building on the scientific and theological foundations of Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin, Diagne highlights the critical need to address political and cultural divides—especially the inequality between the Global North and South. Drawing on the works of L.S. Senghor, Diagne presents a vision of the noosphere that celebrates cultural convergence and equity, urging us to work against structural injustices to realize its full promise. This talk bridges science, ethics, and politics to illuminate the path toward a shared humanity.

The N2 2024: The Noosphere & the Global South conference explored the intersection of technology, society, and the noosphere—the sphere of human thought and collective consciousness. Hosted by Human Energy and UM6P, this year’s event brought together leading thinkers, visionaries, and innovators to discuss solutions to the challenges posed by the techno-social era. Through engaging presentations and collaborative dialogue, N2 2024 aims to inspire actionable insights and transformative change.

Souleymane Bachir Diagne Presentation:

Noosphere and a Politics of Humanity

The emergence of the noosphere as a "thinking layer of the biosphere" presupposes an emergence of cosmopolitanism out of the tribal fragmentation of the human kind. Noosphere must be a politics of humanity.

N2 2024: The Noosphere & The Global South took place on December 16th - 18th in Ben Guerir, Morocco 🌐

The N2 Conference looks to deepen our present understanding and future vision for the noosphere, the sphere of human consciousness and mental activity especially in regard to its influence on the biosphere and in relation to evolution.

N2 is an international, interdisciplinary conference bringing together leading scientists, scholars from across the disciplines, thought leaders, creative artists, and all those who are interested in the meaning and possibility of the noosphere for our collective future.
