  • Per aspera ad harmoniam astrum - sustainable (development) future of mankind - and systems thinking about its ethical imperative and mother earth (including a suggestion for a new logotype) [Elektronski vir]
    Tavčar, Josip ...
    The issue of sustainable (development) future of mankind (SF from now on) is so complex (Blinc 1998) that it cannot belong to biology or any other natural or other science alone, it has very much to ... do with nature, society, humans and their thinking and feeling (Ecimovic, Mulej, Mayur 2002). Therefore it would be desirable to include in consideration of the nature of today and of the SF something in addition to the usual three aspects (closed pyramid, Robinson, Tinker 1998, Schnurr, Holtz 1998), even if they are found interdependent rather than considered by sectors (open pyramid with triangularsides) (see: Ib revija 2001, Radej 2002): The economic imperative (wealth), (for yellow colour, which has law visibility) The ecological imperative (eco - efficiency), The social imperative (quality of life). All three of them depend on human thinking, decision making, and action, which is not based on rationality alone neither on the economists' traditional three suppositions (greed, rationality, equilibrium), but on the interdependence of the rational and emotional subsystems of the human personality and society (Mulej et al. 2000). Therefore the triangle of the above three factors might better be completed up with a fourth factor (Cheah 2002): The ethical imperative (contemporary human values / culture). It belongs into the system of preconditions of the sustainable (development) future as a concept of the national, European, and generally the modern humankind's vision, principles of strategy and policy of diminishing of the unfavourable consequences of the impacts of the modern society and globalisation. The arising question reads: how to include ethics/values/culture in the endeavour to make sustainable (development) future a reality, and its impact on the identity of the modern humankind, Europe, and Slovenia as well as other nations, regions, professions, other social groups, and individuals!
