The Intellectual Structure of Sustainability

Dr A. M. M. Maruf Hossain specializes in ‘the intellectual treatment of sustainability’. His doctoral work at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia, produced a fundamental intellectual process for the study of multifaceted bodies of knowledge/research in relation to sustainability. This intellectual process is underpinned by a new mode of intellectual inquiry—one that enquires about the production of sound knowledge regarding things/realities in their totalities—while the production of such knowledge is essential to the provision of an effective intellectual treatment of sustainability. The present ‘research monograph’ advances this new line of intellectual inquiry through the formation of a theory that unearths the foundation of a new avenue of knowledge, termed here as the scholarship of sustainability; Center for Integrated Knowledge Invention—founded by Dr Hossain—while also advancing this new avenue of knowledge for the provision of effective approaches toward solving the problems of unsustainability. Dr Hossain’s research also encompasses a wide range of environmental sciences.
