ABSTRACT

While conjuring up concrete visions of the alluring global paradigm, we must keep one thing in mind: without ideological renewal, there will be no meaningful breakthrough. The big question just now is where we are to find the philosophical foundations for a coming global civilization. Several competing lines of thought open up in various directions. Still, there seems to be a growing conviction among intellectuals that a significant part of the ideological material can be scooped from the sources of the modern ecological movement and its attendant philosophy.
