Abstract
The theme of my speech today is the values and the imperatives of the philosophy of survival. Today, everyone seems to agree that mankind is at watershed in its history. The present-day global landscape is one of profound crisis, which could end either in the death of humankind or in the break-through to a new civilisation. The one that has existed for many centuries is close to exhausting its potential, unable to sustain and manage life on planet Earth.
