Ecological Imperative:The design principles of acting
“Our acting in these days shall be guided (by this ecological imperative):Act only to the maxime that the consequences foster the development of a global system of solidarity or at least don’t hinder it.Act only to the maxime that the usual practice of exploitation and externalisationcan be substituted by an ethos of global protection.Act only to the maxime that no time is lost in the inevitable transformation which is in the interest of all.“Peter Sloterdjik, philosopher, 2013
