Human & social progress toward a more perfect state of shared rule & social justice will require vision & resolve, courage & compassion. While this journey will not be easy, those who have been the beneficiaries of abundance in a world of artificial scarcity must begun to do their part by adopting a postmodern enlightenment predicated on several important principles: (1) children come first; (2) distribution, sustainability, & compassion are the cornerstones of enlightened development; (3) tolerance is indivisible; (4) humanity is one; (5) war constitutes the ultimate evasion; (6) security is the freedom from fear; (7) global bodies must directly represent peoples, not states; & (8) voice must be given to the unheard.

Autopoietic societies have produced three major images of civilization: the Greco-Roman, the Eurocentric Western, and the Settler Society type. The most important incarnation of the latter to date has been America. This article explores the deep-going differences between American and European ideas of civilization. It examines how the American kind of autopoietic civilization expresses itself in preternaturally distinctive conceptualizations of nature and freedom, life and death, order and chaos, city and ecumene. The article discusses the political and social implications of this.
