Excerpt

The world is bent under the yoke of a dictatorship of no alternatives. The two most powerful impulses at work in the world today are the desire for socially inclusive growth and the struggle to affirm collective originality to develop distinct forms of life. Both these impulse are in the service of a larger ideal. Not the humanization of society but the divinization of humanity, the enhancement of the basic capabilities of men and women and the lifting up of ordinary life to a higher plane of intensity. These impulses can not advance within the limits of the structure that is now established in the world. The world now has a very restricted repertory of living options for the organization of different domains of social life. This repertory is the fate of contemporary societies. To rebel against that fate, through the alliance of theory and politics, it would be necessary to enlarge that repertory.
