LIVING
ELEMENTS
The earth is just experiencing a premiere that is giving cause for concern. For the first time, a single species is deciding how -indeed whether - life on the Blute Planet will continue to evolve. The name of this species is Homo sapiens: an ape that has become hyper-intelligent, say the experts on evolution; God's likeness, say the Christians. But it does not matter which mirror we look at ourselves in; we ought to be shaken to the marrow when we see the background to what is going on: not a day goes by without its becoming abundantly clear that mankind is living beyond his means.
Dark times, however, are also the times for searching. Mankind's best brains are weaving the saving network of ideas. A new global modesty is called for. Now that the East-West conflict seems solved, the North-South conflict perhaps constitutes an even greater challenge. The world cannot remain divided indefinitely into two groups: the over-fed and the starving.

ELEMENTS
The earth is just experiencing a premiere that is giving cause for concern. For the first time, a single species is deciding how -indeed whether - life on the Blute Planet will continue to evolve. The name of this species is Homo sapiens: an ape that has become hyper-intelligent, say the experts on evolution; God's likeness, say the Christians. But it does not matter which mirror we look at ourselves in; we ought to be shaken to the marrow when we see the background to what is going on: not a day goes by without its becoming abundantly clear that mankind is living beyond his means.
Dark times, however, are also the times for searching. Mankind's best brains are weaving the saving network of ideas. A new global modesty is called for. Now that the East-West conflict seems solved, the North-South conflict perhaps constitutes an even greater challenge. The world cannot remain divided indefinitely into two groups: the over-fed and the starving.
What unites the most varied thinkers and strategists in their search for a solution is one idea: the way we treat the four elements of ancient Greek thought, "earth, water, air and fire", will be decisive for what becomes of the world.
This book is intended to make advertising space available to the earth; for who could provide
better arguments than the earth itself for the desirability that it should survive? Each of the four major chapters of this book introduces one of the elements of life both on a large scale eind in miniature; they cast a spotlight on the incomprehensible intelligence with which life arranges its affairs and look into the question of whether our ancestors did not adapt to the elements more wisely. And finally, the decisive question: is there not still a viable way out open to us, too? We believe the answer is yes. But we must consciously decide to take that way out. This book is an invitation to do so.
