Abstract: Since its creation in the late nineteenth century the research university has treated geology as a regional ontology—as one more body of knowledge alongside the other disciplines. The imperatives of the twenty-first century suggest that this needs to change. The purposes of knowledge production reflect the goals of a culture; as those goals change so should the nature of knowledge production. As sustainability becomes the overarching goal of all our efforts our knowledge culture needs to reflect this fact. This implies that geology should become the framework for all knowledge production, facilitating the birth of a new society of maturity and limit.
