Abstract

If we as a human species are going to thrive and even survive, we need to move to an ecological civilization. Developing an ecological civilization will be possible, however, only if we leave the modern world order behind favor of a postmodern world order: global democracy. Those who desire an ecological civilization, therefore, should work for global democracy. This is the argument of the present essay. To see why global democracy would be the precondition for an ecological civilization, we need to understand the present structure of civilization, which is a distinctively modern form of anarchy.
