Lo que no está claro: Colapso o sostenimento

Este artículo reúne, combina y sistematiza los hallazgos derivados de dos campos de estudio que se complementan: por una parte, la concepción de la Gran Historia de David Christian, que enmarca el desarrollo y crecimiento de las civilizaciones y de la población en un contexto ecológico ampliado relativo al uso de recursos y a la perspectiva que aporta una escala temporal más amplia; por otra parte, las advertencias neomalthusianas de Albert Bartlett sobre las falacias económicas y matemáticas que se promueven en el seno de un paradigma industrial y científico alimentado por los combustibles fósiles. El artículo concluye que en las actuales circunstancias la presente civilización industrial y el crecimiento poblacional por ella promovido son ecológicamente insostenibles.

What Remains Unclear: Collapse or Sustainability

This paper brings together some crucial insights from the complementary fields of evolutionary history and economics: on the hand, David Christian's conception of Big History, setting the growth of civilizations and population within a broader ecological conception of the use of resources and the lessons of a wider timeframe, and, on the other, Albert Bartlett's neo-Malthusian warnings about the economic and mathematical fallacies promoted under an industrial and scientific paradigm powered by fossil fuels. The paper concludes that as things stand the present industrial civilization and the associated population growth it has enabled are ecologically unsustainable.

Comentamos el personaje del Hombre de Negro que aparece en las 'Cartas Chinas' de Oliver Goldsmith, atendiendo a la dialéctica entre egoísmo y altruismo que se da en estos relatos y de modo similar en otros personajes y obras de Goldsmith. Ponemos todo ello en contexto con las ideas económicas y morales de la época, en particular las de Adam Smith, atendiendo también a la relación que puede establecerse entre estas ideas sobre las actitudes y la naturaleza humana, y la comprensión de las motivaciones del comportamiento y de la sociabilidad humana que nos han dado el evolucionismo y la sociobiología.

English abstract: 

Sociobiology of the Man in Black

This paper examines the character of the Man in Black in Oliver Goldsmith's 'Chinese Letters', focusing on the dialectics between selfishness and altruistic behavior shown in these stories and likewise in other characters and stories by Goldsmith. This is set in the context of contemporary economic and moral ideas, particularly those of Adam Smith. These ideas on human nature and attitudes are also related to our current understanding of human sociability and behaviour as explained by evolutionary theory and sociobiology.
