Before delving into the <\/span>circular economy<\/em> concept, it is important to address the phenomenon of a paradigm shift first. But what exactly is a paradigm? A paradigm, derived from the Greek word meaning \u201cpattern,\u201d \u201cinstance,\u201d or \u201cexample,\u201d symbolises a fundamental transformation in the core concepts and ideas within a scientific discipline\u2014a process often referred to as a scientific revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>hroughout history, numerous pivotal shifts have existed in human perception of the world. These metamorphoses occur when the conventional approach can no longer adequately describe reality, creating a window of opportunity for the emergence of a new concept. However, such changes rarely come without challenges. T<\/span>hey frequently cause distress, particularly for those who have invested heavily in the prevailing doctrines and, therefore, must bear the most significant costs when change occurs.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

Science, in its pursuit of a comprehensive and objective understanding of the world, is inherently dynamic and cyclical. E<\/span>ach cycle follows a predetermined stage of development, with every paradigm shift facing significant resistance. This resistance stems from the world\u2019s<\/span> complexity and multifaceted nature, coupled with our human tendency to simplify the things and phenomena around us.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span>n his book <\/span>The Happy City<\/em>, C. Montgomery, referring to the work of the famous anthropologist Claude L\u00e9vi-Strauss, writes that humanity falls into the eternal trap of simplifying reality:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c…people have always relied on simplification, metaphor, or history to find meaning in what is happening around them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c…ancient people put their knowledge of the world into myths that reflected similar narrative structures: everything was reduced to a system of binary oppositions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, there is widespread recognition\u2014both nationally and internationally\u2014that the traditional linear economy has reached its limits. Rather than leading to sustainable growth and prosperity, it now guides us toward a dead end. As a result, the circular economy is increasingly seen as a logical and necessary progression in human development.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
