Dear colleagues, I'm translating the announcement of a conference on the topic "Wirtschaften **aus** einem neuen Bewusstsein" and I'm not sure which preposition to choose.
Some context: Ziel der Tagung ist die Verbindung von innerer Bewusstseinsentwicklung, wie sie seit Jahrtausenden von spirituellen Wegen gelehrt wird und äußerem Ausdruck im konkreten Handeln, als Antwort auf die globalen Herausforderungen, vor denen wir heute stehen.
My translation of the phrase so far: "Economic management **out of** a new awareness" - somehow that doesn't sound right. I'd be grateful for suggestions.

Hi Daniela,
Since awareness can only be developed, I believe you can leave out the "out". I have a few more suggestions below. I hope I could be of some help! It's a fascinating field!

Economics of a new awareness.
I thought of turning it around, but sounds a bit questionable:
The new awareness of economics.
or, for a laugh - New Age Economics - those days are gone for good!

out of/based on a new awareness
Your own suggestion "out of a new awareness" sounds perfectly good to me.
Another possibility might be "based on a new awareness".

Not exactly the answer to your question. If that is not helpful, just ignore it, please.

: Fits, to my ears; depends how explicit the title has to be (the spiritual/new consciousness aspects being explicit in what follows)

and a new awareness/consciousness
Yes, I'm suggesting that you try using 'and' in your context.
Peer comment(s):

Stephen Reader
: As a heading maybe 'Economics and THE new consciousness'?

Hmm...I didn't think of using 'the' instead of 'a', but yes, it is possible. I'll leave it to the asker's discretion. Thanks, Stephen Reader

(Economics) as seen from the new (spiritual) consciousness
I would go with consciousness here. The term 'spiritual consciousness' has great currency.

: Hi, Helen, definitely Agree for a subtitle/ in-text version; if it's the title of the whole event, I'd toy (glibly?) with a phrase that 'rings'.

Thanks, Stephen, as long as 'consciousness' is in there somewhere!
