Exercising the Imagination

"Despite Having recently initiated a partial realization of the most obvious dangers that threaten the natural environment of our societies, they are generally content to simply tackle industrial pollution and then from a purely technocratic pespective, whereas only an ethico-political articulation- which I call ecosophy - between the three ecological registers (the environment, social relations and human subjectivity) would be likely to clarify these questions"..."there no longer appears to be a cause-and-effect relationship between the growth in techno-scientific resources and the development of social and cultural progress". "It seems instead that we face up to the logic of desiring ambivalence wherever it emerges in culture, everyday life, work, sport etc.- in order to reevaluate the purpose of work and of human activities according to different criteria than those of profit and yield"..."Individuals must become both more united and increasingly different".

(Guattari, 'The Three Ecologies', 1989)
