This book discusses the challenges faced by the homo resaliens and
his need for a transition to a more sustainable social, economic,
and environmental system. It fills a gap in the existing literature
and provides a new perspective by changing the etymology of the
word resilience: no more resiliere, but resalio. By comparing and
analysing the relevant literature, the author has coined the term
homo resaliens (resilient man), in contrast to the failure of the
homo oeconomicus, the corruption of the homo politicus, the
incompleteness of homo sustinens, and the limits of homo
ecologicus. Opening a new debate in which the role of academia and
res publica are fundamental to safeguard human communities and
future generations, this book will greatly assist governments that
wish to understand the socio-political and economic implication of
resilience in terms of social inclusiveness and long term social
and environmental sustainability.
