As already clarified Morin and Anne Brigitte Kern call
Fatherland-Earth (or homeland), and although they see the ontological importance of the concep , understand that see the world as homeland is more comprehensive because it incorporates besides the people and the planet itself, the world as a living being and present in the reality of cultures and peoples .
Chapters 2 and 3 of earth and planetary identity agony , even though the topics are relevant essentially think that the crisis involves something beyond the contradictions and cultural and political issues at stake , what is at stake , it agree with the author , that man is now seen as a whole attends his planetary experience and communications play an important role in human vision is clear , but with media aids.
A new civilizational step is performed , and their analysis in chapter 4 , although divided into five stages, namely : the beginning of human evolution , homo erectus , homo sapiens , birth history (agriculture , farming , city-state ) and fifth who was going to be the birth of “society / community of individuals, ethnic groups and nations ” (page 112 of the book Earth – homeland of the authors ) .
Essentially I agree that would be the end of the Iron Age, and that the “concept of development has to be rethought , totally and radically ” (p. 112 ) , but the authors state that this happened from the 50 post-war however the vision Fatherland- World is enlarged understanding that from the late Middle Ages was the imprisonment of the “human spirit ” ( the noosphere so ) linking it to the realm of nature and with it of man by man himself .
The authors address correctly “because we have to separate the notion of developing its housing economist ” (p. 112 ) and find that it is a mistake of reducing economic nature “judge that the market itself contains all solutions to the problem of civilization “(p. 113 ) and ” socialism and capitalism were in their , myths development “(p. 114 ) and that both cannot be “designed as providentialist, imperialists and reductive notions”(p. 114 ) .
The authors find the key phenomenon of planetary era: ” the moral , psychological and intellectual underdevelopment” (p. 115) developed , and the proliferation of general ideas: “hollow and mutilated vision, loss of global, elementary and responsibility” (p. 115) .
We must respect local cultuas in the planetary era, but the authors cite using M. Murayama that every culture has something “dysfunctional (default functionality) of misfuncional (running in a bad sense) of sub-functional ( making a performance at the lowest level) and toxifuncional (creating losses in its operation) ” (p. 116) and that is why we must open ourselves to “other cultures” without losing our.
