Identifier	Thesis 1638
Author	Cessario, Anthony F
Title	A paradoxical philosophy on human culture & sustainability / Anthony F. Cessario
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2001
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Paradox ideology is founded upon the notion that a statement or words seem contradictory to common sense but perhaps is true. Paradox defies explanation by confounding language. Paradox bewilders the linear thinker and thus, stimulates the perceiving human mind. Life is a seeming paradox. This thesis attempts to provide the reader with an insightful and analytical assessment of humanity and its diverse nature. I initially examine the relationship between humanity and nature by offering a simplified and wholistic interpretation of the symbolic essence of diversity, integration and interdependence. I have sought to express my perception of these notions using the conceptual tool called the paradox. The insight generated from paradox ideology hopefully will help the reader gain a centered perspective on the messages contained herein. A centered perspective allows the reader to fully perceive the diversity and integrity of life in its essence. I intend to provide an understandable perspective of diversity, integration and interdependence as laws of existence that help humans define natural living. I will provide an introspective view of the integrated components of the human being as well. The essential workings of the individual human are dependent upon the integration of body, mind and emotions. These uniquely diverse components integrate to form complex personas and belief systems , that gel into inner beings that perceive and learn. These beings, ego and spirit, form the basis for all human perceptions, behaviors and interactions. I continue my perspective into an examination of the root aspects of human culture--communal living, identity and homeland. Human cultures were born out of the necessity for organization. Cooperation is the backbone of all cultures. My thesis continues with a case study of the diverse political. economic and social variables that affected communal living in south Italy. An additional case study on European Union agricultural/environmental policy follows to demonstrate the ultra important needs and demands that ensue in the integration process of collective nations. In both cases, the reader should note the difficulties humanity experiences when attempting to organize and cooperate even for basic staples of living. Finally, I conclude my project with a discussion of my personal perceptions of the impediments and variables that affect the possibility of sustaining ecological and human life in this age of globalization. Can humanity balance the urge to compete with the need to cooperate? Will humanity be able to reverse the ancient trend of coddling the comfortable while ignoring the afflicted? I hope the reader will be able to capture the essence of the momentum of human social progress in order to determine for him/her self whether humanity is progressing towards sustainable growth and or selfdestruction in its quest for survival in this current age of globalization.
