Abstract

For almost two decades we have been witnessing phenomena that have brought about a crisis in technocratic ideology. Economic growth has failed to bring about the general welfare that had been promised and instead the world has had to face a crisis of global proportions. The global crisis is determined by the constant decrease of the quality of living in all parts of the world; this opens up the problem of how the human species can survive. The environment problem has entered the main political currents. Thus the United Nations have reacted to the problem of the global crisis by an appeal for political action within which the policy of "sustainable development" has been accepted. The concept of sustainable development calls for a radical change of institutions, values, aims, structures, and processes in modern society - their transformation into values, aims, structures and processes of postmodern society.
