Synopsis
"The future will either be an inspired product of a great cultural revival, or there will be no future."
This diagnosis of our civilization's condition was made in 1980 by Aurerelio Peccei, The Club of Rome's founding president, based on a decade of this international think tank's research into the future prospects of mankind.
That "our civilization is on a collision course with nature" was at that point a scientifically fact. But the visionary scientists who established The Club of Rome saw that the roots of our contemporary crisis were in a misbalanced way in which our civilization developed—where science and technology prospered at an accelerated rate, while culture and human values decayed.
On the morning of March 14, 1984, the day he passed away, Peccei dictated to his secretary from a hospital bed (as part of "Agenda for the End of the Century"):
"Human development is the most important goal."
