| |
| There seem to be at least four degrees of cultural development, rooted in degrees of moral
| |
| insight:
| |
|
| |
| # autocratic cultures which define rights in a limited and oppressive way and there are no rights of political participation;
| |
| # narrow democratic cultures which practise political participation through representation, but have no or very limited participation of people in decision-making in all other realms, such as research, religion, education, industry etc.;
| |
| # wider democratic cultures which practice both political participation and varying degree of wider kinds of participation;
| |
| # commons p2p cultures in a libertarian and abundance-oriented global network with equipotential rights of participation of everyone in every field of human endeavour."
| |
|
| |
| Heron adds that "These four degrees could be stated in terms of the relations between
| |
| hierarchy, co-operation and autonomy.
| |
|
| |
| # Hierarchy defines, controls and constrains co-operation and autonomy;
| |
| # Hierarchy empowers a measure of co-operation and autonomy in the political sphere only;
| |
| # Hierarchy empowers a measure of co-operation and autonomy in the political sphere and in varying degrees in other spheres;
| |
| # The sole role of hierarchy is in its spontaneous emergence in the initiation and continuous flowering of autonomy-in-co-operation in all spheres of human endeavour"
