Civilizology.The science of civilizations.

The field of inquiry that traces the roots of civilization rights and the processes that generate civilizational outcomes.

Definition

Where civilizational outcomes come from.

Civilizology refers to the field of inquiry that adopts scientific approaches to trace the roots of civilization rights and the processes (inputs) that generate civilization outcomes and artifacts (outputs).

As an emerging field, Civilizology calls upon specialists and scientists from across disciplines — law, physics, engineering, nutrition, management, astronomy, architecture, and beyond — to study and document the contributions of human civilizations.

It is the framework that connects the principles of the Universal Declaration to their real-world application in Civilization Resilience.
