Ústava Země A constitution for the earth Verfassung für die Erde Ústava Zeme
Niečo sa pokazilo. Optimizmus zo začiatku tisícročia dnes vystriedali obavy a neistota. Najprv euro?americká finančná, potom globálna ekonomická a s ňou spojená sociálna kríza, i zdanlivo nesúvisiaca klimatická zmena. Rastie hrozba vojenských konfliktov, terorizmu, sťahovania či migrácie ľudí a národov. Skryte narastá zásadný existenciálny konflikt ľudskej kultúry so Zemou. Chýba nám skúsenosť, hodnoty i program pre život v materiálne a duchovne rozmanitom svete.
Pribúdajú však aj výzvy ekologicky cítiacich ľudí, vedcov a inštitúcií na zmenu súčasnej civilizácie a vytvorenie nového vzťahu ľudí k prírode. Väčšinou ešte nejde o ucelené návody na riešenie, ale len o obavy a úzko orientované úvahy, morálne apelovanie a súpisy zbožných prianí. Dokonca aj pápež, riskujúc exkomunikáciu konzervatívnym krídlom cirkvi, vyzval v encyklike Laudato Sí všetkých ľudí k starostlivosti o spoločný planetárny domov. A to nielen na základe viery, ale aj v súlade s poznatkami dnešnej vedy.
Originálna koncepcia českého filozofa Josefa Šmajsa ponúka univerzálne prijateľné riešenia vychádzajúce z ontologickej podstaty našich súčasných problémov. Zdôvodňuje odmietnutie antropocentrizmu a žiada uznanie nadradenosti a práv Zeme nad právami, slobodami a výsadami ľudí. Ľudská kultúra nie je pokračovaním evolúcie prírody, ale opozičným umelým systémom, ktorý dnes Zem budúcim generáciam pustoší.
Ústava Zeme môže byť tou správnou odpoveďou – posúďte sami a staňte sa spolutvorcami novej duchovnej paradigmy.

Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, 'There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.' This is one of those times when history has sped up.
In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the 'top ten global thinkers of the last decade' (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.

The Flying Legion
The room was strange as the man, himself, who dwelt there. It seemed, in a way, the outward expression of his inner personality. He had ordered it built from his own plans, to please a whim of his restless mind, on top of the gigantic skyscraper that formed part of his properties.

Chip, of the Flying U
All of the boys at the Flying U grumbled -- among themselves -- when they heard that the Old Man's sister was coming to spend the summer. They didn't want a woman at the ranch, and certainly not one who had just received a medical degree! But if they'd had an inkling of what was really going to happen, they would have done more than grumble...
