A Conversation on "Beyond Boundaries"
<p>As a companion to the article<a href="https://www.natureinstitute.org/in-context-55/beyond-boundaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> "Beyond Boundaries: Thoughts on a Science of the Living,"</a> this episode features a conversation between the authors -- Jon McAlice and Craig Holdrege -- with podcast host John Gouldthorpe. They pick up and develop central themes from the article about the relationships and marvelously complementary distinctions between plants, animals, and humans. This article was originally published in <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-98758-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">On the Earth We Want to Live</a> and is now available in the Spring 2026 issue of <a href="https://www.natureinstitute.org/newsletter/in-context" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">In Context.</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

To Explain or Portray?
<p>This article by emeritus researcher Stephen Talbott, originally published in 2003 (<a href="https://www.natureinstitute.org/article/stephen-l-talbott/to-explain-or-portray" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">In Context #9</a>), attempts to illuminate what Goethe meant when he said his “intention is to portray rather than to explain.” Steve gives a living characterization of portrayal by comparing and contrasting it to explanation.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode should be paired with Craig Holdrege’s audio article “Characterize, Don’t Define.” They provide two distinct, yet complementary, perspectives and expressions of the central practices and goals of The Nature Institute by two of its founders.</p>
