This is a question for Professor Wagar or others -
How could one state the creed of the Left
Enlightenment in 100 words or less?
For example, would the following statement
do?
"All humans (men and women, members of different
ethnic groups, people with or without disability) are born free and equal. It is
the responsibility of society (local, national and global) to assure that
they (we) are alive, free and equal and have an adequate standard of living."
[47 words]
Would that be a suitable capsule
statement?
[ One could argue that "adequate standard of
living" implies the goal of ecological stability/sustainability, since the
realization of an adequate standard of living for all requires that the
environment can sustain it.]["alive" would imply that they (we) would not be
exposed to, or engage in, war, genocide or other forms of violence.]["creed" is
not a strategic plan of how to do it, but a statement of what is
desirable.]
