摘要

人类面临的重要问题是什么?今天的许多相关问题似乎太大了,无法用单一学科的知识来理解,它们超越了单个国家的边界,而且它们会持续许多代人。谁能解决这些问题?大多数政治制度都有5年的时间跨度,并且关注国家的利益。我们传统上专门的、以学科为导向的教育是狭隘的,不能解决“广泛”的问题。我们能找到与当今复杂问题相匹配的通用知识工具吗?我们能否发展出一种广角的科学世界观来看待整体?地球上一些基本资源的清单是按人均列出的。根据长期可持续性分析变化的过程。列出了人类面临的主要问题,并按轻重缓急排序。有几个设想。提出了目标和行动手段。讨论了需要解决的伦理和教育问题。

Priorities for a sustainable civilization
What are the vital issues facing humankind? It appears that many of today's relevant issues are too big to be understood by knowledge from a single discipline, that they reach beyond the boundaries of individual nations, and that they last for many generations. Who can address these issues? Most political systems have a 5 year time horizon, and focus on national concerns. Our traditionally specialized, discipline oriented education is narrow, and fails us in coping with 'wide' problems. Can we find universal knowledge tools that match today's complex problems? Can we develop a wide-angle scientific world view to see the whole? An inventory of some of the Earth's essential resources is presented on a per capita basis. The processes of change are analyzed with respect to long-term sustainability. The major problems facing humankind are listed, and ordered according to priority. Several scenarios are sketched. Goals and means of action are suggested. Ethical and educational issues arising from the need for solutions are discussed.
