Although Western civilization can claim to have contributed by certain elements to the general progress of humanity, the radical dualism which it has proposed between matter and spirit, body and soul, heart and intelligence, art and science, is greatly responsible (together with exploitation principle in which it participates) for the deadly troubles that assail our planet. Only by reconsidering traditional concepts and practices of a warmer, more "natural" type, only by the projection of new technological achievements in their light can the hope of seeing a true culture arise that is capable of coping with the facts and problems of today be warranted.
尽管西方文明可以宣称通过某些元素为人类的总体进步做出了贡献,但其在物质与精神、身体与灵魂、情感与理智、艺术与科学之间提出的激进二元论,(连同它所参与的剥削原则)对困扰我们星球的致命问题负有重大责任。只有重新审视更温暖、更“自然”类型的传统观念和做法,只有根据这些观念和做法来应用新的技术成就,才有可能产生一种能够应对当今现实和问题的真正文化。
