IMPLICATIONS

A Future Society Functioning at the Paradigmatic Stage?

Pages 554-562 | Published online: 05 Nov 2008
 

Abstract

The speculative yet theoretically viable notion of a future society performing at the paradigmatic stage is under-examined. Visions of a highly evolved humanity should be supported by rigorously realistic treatment of factors, from the pragmatics of how visions would manifest on the ground to the hierarchical complexity-based challenges of social evolution. The theoretical discourse takes different angles on discussing society at this stage. These include examining moral development; individual–society differences; social systems, principles, and processes; demands on discursive practices and institutions; and the developmental and other demands of complexity in societies' issues. Is a society at the paradigmatic stage possible?
