Summary

While it is true that we are faced with a growing food and energy crisis, it is important that these issues are not seen, or dealt with, in isolation. These and other crises we face must rather be recognised as the symptoms of a rather deeper malaise, one anchored within the depths of the human condition. We live in ambiguous times. Shades of grey have always filled the cleft between black and white but today this discontinuity stands more as a chasm. It is the gradual closure of this uncertain interspace of moral standing that will guide us to a sustainable future.
