![]() The book seeks to develop the moral and critical purpose at work behind the varied writings of Lewis Mumford. Mumford is shown to offer an alternative future based on organic plenitude as against the 'aimless dynamism' of endless material quantity within the megamachine. The argument demonstrates Mumford's ecological regionalism as being grounded in a moral sense of place, Mumford offering an ecological civilisation as an alternative to the false imperatives of the megamachine. ""LEWIS MUMFORD AND THE MORAL ARCHITECTONICS OF ECOLOGICAL CIVILISATION This book traces the connection of ecology, regionalism and civilisation in the life's work of Lewis Mumford.

The ought to be is then as important as the reality, and so it is to 'uncover' the 'disguised' placebo freedoms our capitalist, democratic nations have imposed as a surrogate of the ideal world. But as mankind is a 'degraded' organism we also need to 'establish' the ideal form first to have a reference not only to realist history in its entropic age of extinction as AI machines substitute us in labor and war fields, but in its potentiality if bio-historians, the doctors of history who knows its laws, substituted our clueless neuronal class in control of our economic=blood, legal=informative and defensive-immunological networks to create an immortal world. As the nested superorganisms of the Universe have a fractal structure, those analysis can be as detailed and broken as possible - in the case of civilinations down to the 'corrupted' nations of military tribal origin that broke its cultures. We study them according to the general laws of superorganisms in 'time', 'scale (and social classes', space (geography, vital Gaia that feeds us), entropy (the death of its civilizations tuned to the 800-80 years cycles of metal-earth) and mind (the languages and philosophies and cultures developed). But all superorganisms of history moved through those ages. As such Indonasia reached an organic understanding of the Universe in terms of its 2 elements, space=form=yin=name and yang=time=motion=verb, both in language and philosophy. IndoAsia (India, Indochina and the Pacific) was born in the organic age of maturity of History, origin of the Neolithic, which contrary to belief happened first on the 'rivers of paradise' falling from the Tibetan mountains. Each of its geographical civilinations was born and hence its original memes that code its humans, developed in one of those STages. History is thus the present st=age on the evolution of information on the skin of Earth and as such huminds occupied it as a single global civilination in its paleolithic youth and reproductive mature neolithic age in balance, which then moved into the 3rd informative STage or 'metallic age'. Earth is part of the galactic supœrganism, whose skin has evolved in 3 St-ages Gaia (life) Metal-earth (an evolving world of company mothers that re=produce machines, metalife systems humans consume, and its twins evil=antilive top predator weapons that consume us in the eco(nomic) system). The Universe is a nested supœrganism of space=forms with time=motions.
