Invitation to Think: Technology and Sustainability – A Utopia Paradigm
Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective – This paper pursues an approach of archaeological meditations into human achievement and its fruits; meditations in search of the possibility and the means of conditioning innovations in a manner that can harness these innovations to make “sustainable development” a reality that goes beyond mere “utopian dreams.” The process seems like a feast for the thinking and inquiry: what do we do about the experienced paradox of the times: the abundant wealth of the scientific technological experience with its ever-evolving revolutions of innovation on one hand, and a plethora of deeply-rooted ever-increasing problems manifested in the issues of sustained development that challenge present creativity while pursuing the dream. Methodology/Technique – In this research, previous studies reviewed extensively. Findings – In conclusion, we intended our approach to be a feast for thinking based on the Aristotelian concept of "the will to live together," in order to foster mature and responsible thinking methodologies. This can be possible when the philosophical mind comprehensively and radically tackles existing and future realities, in light of the present situation while contending with irresponsible practices, to achieve a transition from mental deficiency to maturity as a first step towards a productive system for human activity in general. Novelty – The study justifies that we intended our approach to be a feast for thinking based on the Aristotelian concept of "the will to live together," to foster mature and responsible thinking methodologies. Type of Paper: Review
