This book examines two main concepts - harmony and exchange - in
relation to the social, political, economic, and cultural
dimensions of human life. As such, what differentiates humans from
other living species are the possibility of understanding a context
and the willingness to collaborate and create complex models of
exchange. Specifically, emotion and intellect are established as
fundamental dimensions of our being which play key roles in
exchange with others and dealing with our environment. This text
provides a new perspective that examines "being and becoming" in a
multidimensional exchange framework, concentrating on the analysis
of a utilitarian society which reduces human beings to operators
and servants of techno-scientific machinery. This approach to
validity demands conformity to social and political norms which
have lost touch with the intellectual and emotional expressions of
the citizens of the world, resulting in an environment of
alienation, violence, and subordination of humans to meaningless
institutions and positivistic ideologies. The quest for true
harmony and collaborative exchange in contemporary societies
requires the recognition of multiple sites of subjectivity,
self-certainty, and global domination of techno-scientific
rationality. This book's primary application towards a Legoic
society is built on a critical pedagogy committed to dialogue and
exchange, and is an environment that is accompanied by the process
of development of a critical consciousness based on new systems of
agency, moving toward a fundamentally non-reductionist praxis of
the socio-political dimension of living together.
