"Knowledge
For
Our
Times"
Knowledge is dynamic. It grows
and evolves according to the
needs of human society. In the
past, different civilizations
categorized knowledge to suit
the cultural paradigm of their
times.
A key focus of
the present
time, and an
area demanding
much further
investigation,
is the
relationship
between humans
and nature.
Sciences must be
our guide in
this endeavor,
but history too
can teach us
important
lessons of
co-existence
with our
environment. To
date, education
and the media
have only
succeeded in
fostering a
culture
characterized by
narrow vested
interests,
intolerance and
violence.
There must be a
fundamental
change in
education,
creating the
desire for
proactive
environmental
protection and
respect for
human dignity
and rights, as
the two are
mutually
empowering.
The
EOLSS
body of
knowledge
is
inspired
by a
vision
that
includes
the
following
paradigm:
The
sciences
should
be at
the
service
of
humanity
as a
whole,
and
should
contribute
to
providing
everyone
with a
deeper
understanding
of
nature
and
society,
a better
quality
of life
and a
sustainable
and
healthy
environment
for
present
and
future
generations.
