Area
of Interest: I see two major causes for the many social, psychological,
political, economic, cultural conflicts that disturb our lives. One major
cause is the absence of real communities: I believe the competition and
anonimity in many (modern or not) contemporary societies is a major cause
of disease. To be healthy human beings need to live and work together with
people they know in small communities. Hence, one important part of the
solution is the 'growing' of real communities, viz. small-scale,
self-sufficient, radically ecological communities. The second cause is the
alienation from nature. It seems that human beings are barely (made)
conscious of the fact that Nature/Universe is a whole/unity, and that
humans are (a form of) that whole/unity. Hence, nature is not just some
construction site which we can randomly manipulate and exploit; Nature is
our second skin so to speak. Living without acknowledging the unity of
ourself and nature is like trying to live outside of ourself; it's doomed
to fail and certain to engender diseases and disturbances. |
