- W938091331 abstract "Protagoras said, “The human being is the measure of all things”. This implies, among other things, that language, science and religion are human inventions, as is, economics, money, efficiency, race, conflict, etc. As symbolusing animals we have created these concepts to serve our purposes. But as our societies have increased in size and our concepts become more abstract, there is a danger that we will forget our authorship and reify these symbols. This inhibits change in the way we name things, so that we are always in danger of misunderstanding the reality we are describing. We seem to be at such a stage now as we employ 18 and 19 century theories to describe and, more importantly, create 21 century reality. One such idea has to do with human needs. Influenced by the abstract (economic) concepts we use, we have lost our sense of what we truly need. Epicurus and Maslow may help to review and reassess those concepts, Epicurus, by suggesting that our material needs are quite simple but that emotional and spiritual need satisfaction requires a small scale loving community, free from fear, and Maslow, by suggesting that our emotional development is age-related, which, besides therapy, may help in suggesting revisions in socioeconomic theory that would insure the social conditions that would allow this development to take place successfully. Three Challenges Facing Humanity Today Humanity is faced with three major and interrelated challenges in the 21st century, all of which are derived in part from outdated assumptions, or metaphysical beliefs, as E.F. Schumacher called them in 1973 in his classic book, Small is Beautiful. These are assumptions about nature, and about human beings and their societies that we have inherited from the past. They are found embedded especially in current" @default.
