摘要
The 21st century looks as though it will be a 'make' or 'break' time for humanity. Present trends do not encourage optimism. But there are many ways in which humans can act to develop foresight and to 'steer' toward more consciously-chosen futures. This paper considers 'inner' and 'outer' threats to humanity and to an emerging 'congruence of insight' about how we might respond. There is a need for many more voices to enter this 'futures conversation'. (C) 2000 Richard A. Slaughter. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
