ANTHROPOCEN ŞI TERŢUL ASCUNS
The Anthropocene and the Hidden Third

Summary/Abstract: The big spiritual poverty present on our Earth points to the obvious need for a new vision of Reality, conciliating technoscience and wisdom. The dialogue between science and religion has a crucial role in its birth. Technoscience, associated with fabulous economic power, drives a hugely irrational force of efficiency for efficiency’s sake. We need a conversion of technoscience towards values. This conversion is possible through the dialogue between technoscience, on one hand and religions and cultures, on the other hand, which is methodologically possible through transdisciplinarity, with its key-notions of levels of Reality and Hidden Third. This is the way we could avoid the dead end of homo religiosus vs. homo economicus debate. The consequences on ethics of such a dialogue are crucial in the context of Anthropocene, of the existence of the danger, for the first time in history, of the annihilation of the entire human race. It is not the technology which will save our race, but a radical change of our vision of Reality. The spiritual treasure of the orthodox apophatic thinking, intimately related with the Hidden Third, might be essential in facing the challenges of the Anthropocene
