Ecological Intelligence

"Our acquisitioin of a great quantity of scientific knowledge of Earth-life-world(ecosphere) and the universe cannot be vindicated; because it cannot be seperated from our lack of ecological, social-spiritual-ontological intelligence, nor from the resulting, accelerating destruction of Earth's human self-life-world and Earthlifeworld, which made this arrogant, destructive knowledge possible. Modern 'civilization' wants to have the cake of mind, while devouring the grains of being that make such extravagance (of intellect-egoism) possible. Such is the modern cannibalism, devouring our human being, soul and Earth-life [ecosystem-habitats]."

(from CH. IX, The Last Human Spring)
