Etymology: From French collapsologie, collapse + -ology.

  1. The transdisciplinary study of the collapse of industrial civilization, and what might succeed it.

    “This will be the true purpose of collapsology, which we define as the transdisciplinary study of the collapse of our industrial civilization, and what might succeed it, based on the two cognitive modes of reason and intuition and on recognized scientific studies.”

    “For the authors of the Jean Jaurès study, the political scientist Jérôme Fourquet and the pollster Jean-Philippe Dubrulle, collapsology is driven at least in part by economic factors.”
