Our Philosophy

Depu aims to become a major player in providing sustainable services for China fast-paced development. China is a country with enormous opportunities and DEPU as a service company wants to support Chinese customers to tap into those opportunities in a way which is both sustainable and human-based.

The company’s philosophy builds on the ideas of eminent western philosophers and pedagogues such as Rudolf Steiner, Hugo Kükelhaus and xxx. Its core values are a human-scaled approach and the awareness of the complex influence of the cosmos (i.e. earth and the outer space) on any human experience.

The unifying principle of its activities is the promotion of an all-encompassing approach to existence that counteracts the inherent limited, inhumane and “mechanistic” vision of contemporary society. This principle comprises experiencing the world with all the human senses for a more corporeal [and spiritual?] engagement as opposed to a purely intellectual one. It aims at encouraging self-responsible development of individuals that are able to encounter other men, be invigorated by the force of nature, support its vital processes and express the tension of the scientific and technical research of modern society.

A key instrument supported by DEPU to achieve a greater embodiment of experiences is the “Experience field for the development of the senses”, considered by many a potent way to awaken the wide range of senses that humanity has been gifted with.

DEPU concentrates on education, agriculture and architecture as sectors at the very interface between the human agency and its environment. DEPU offers worldwide expert services for project design and implementation, training events and programmes, and professional travel. DEPU also offers a range of selected eco-compatible products.
