Transcript of Jack tilson's theory utopia presentation
Utopia?
How are we involved in modernsociety?
Druid Sun Worship, Veneratingthe Oak
Worship of the sun Worship the earth Every atom of your body was created in the
sun’s atomic furnace.
We are not above the earth butone with it.
Certain religions placed us at centre ofuniverse
Garden of Eden, created for US. The earth as a commodity, rather than
humans being part of a bigger system. We are implicitly involved with the earth.
Where do we find Utopia?
Simple gestures to show yourlove for the planet
Eat seasonal food. Find joy in the changing seasons and what each
season can provide. Get amongst the world that gave you life. Think about the consequences of your actions. Think of the next generation and the following.
Art and Utopia
Art as reflection of our world. Art can seek to remind of us simple truths,
such as the beauty of nature. Art connects us to the world we are living
in.
The contradiction.
Utopia is a conceptwhich is individualto everybody.
One persons Utopiais another's Dystopia.
Civil Society
Will it ever exist? If civil society did exist would it be a good
thing?
Search for Peace and Knowledge
Ultimately, humans need to share. Health: Access to health care and liberation from
disease Food: Freedom from starvation Freedom: Freedom to be oneself and be respected,
being able to make ones own decisions. Knowledge: Essential to share the wealth of
Knowledge that exists.
Henry Moore: Art as anexpression of love for humanityand the earth which gave us life.
