Causal layered analysis is a futures research method focusing on in-depth analysis of current issues and identifying alternative futures. The analysis happens on four levels: //litany//, //social or systemic causes//, //discourse/worldview// and //myth/metaphor//. Litany identifies current issues, assumptions, facts and data. At the next layer the social or systemic causes underlying the 'litany' are analysed. At the discourse layer, dominant worldviews and mindsets are examined, which give rise to the issues. The deepest layer looks at the foundational myths, metaphors and archetypes that influence the unconscious and/or emotional undertone beneath the issues. | Causal layered analysis is a futures research method focusing on in-depth analysis of current issues and identifying alternative futures.
