We humans are faced with an interesting problem: That which we
think we un derstand the most-our own behavior-we probably
understand the least. On the eve of a new millennium. the planet is
beset by a host of problems that are. for the most part. caused by
human behavior. Ironically. although it seems that the greatest
impact of our behavior is on the planet and its other inhabitants.
we may actually be threatening our own future the most. For
example. we have caused untold harm to the air we breathe. to the
water we drink. and. by exten sion. to much of the food we eat.
More important perhaps. we have created a so ciety in which. among
other things. many people are anxious and depressed. young women
starve themselves. and alcohol and cigarette use are responsible
for hundreds of thousands of cases of illness and death every year.
And humans still murder one another at an astounding rate. while at
the same time continu ing to affirm the value of human life. At a
time when it is critical that our chil dren become educated. more
and more children are not learning the basic skills they will need
to think logically so that they can begin to solve the world's
problems. The question may be not "Can the planet survive?" but.
rather. "Can we humans survive and change our own destructive
actions?" Although many scholars. philosophers.
