ECOLOGY IN THE FACE OF CIVILIZATIONAL ADDICTIONS

Abstract

It is becoming necessary to inspire a new perception of the world in education through new media and social institutions. We must see the dangers on a mass scale, although this cannot be automatically comprehend as persuasively speaking to the imagination. Therapeutic and pedagogical questions need to be supplemented by a generation of new concerns also outside the typical defence mechanisms, spontaneous and not quite reflective. The uncomfortable question about sustainable development is being publicized: how many more people can Earth support and feed (the calculations vary from several hundred million to 50 billion, and we are at 8). We also need to answer what kind of lifestyle globally increases this number and which one limits it – as, for example, destroying the environment reduces the survival potential of civilization. The practice of creative improvisation can be positive but it is inscribed into unconscious dangers. Acting blind creates new dangers. We are constantly letting the evil jinn out of the bottle. Let repeat this at the end: Ecology of the spirit is an imperative of the moment!
