New Paradigm of the Relationship Between Man and Science as a Prerequisite For Awareness Transformation

The global concept of sustainable development and absence of awareness of sustainable development are a significant field of reflection and action, especially in the area of educational paradigms. The change in paradigmatic mind-set indicates the change in the interaction between man and his environment, as well as a change in the educational line of thinking and action. Formal logic often accompanies education and is incurably rigid and static, as it does not take into consideration time and change as obvious elements of everyday human experience. Formal logic is necessary in science for the purpose of naming, describing and classifying, but it observes the world through static objects, which do not experience change. Thus, it encourages the creation of rigid prejudice, self-control and self- limitation in people. The world is observed through black and white optics, either good or bad, and at the psychological level, a direct reflection of such a worldview is the feeling of guilt and fear.Today, dialectics represent the world’s leading worldview in the western, capital- driven world. Dialectic struggle, pressures, competition, conflicts and amassing of material assets and political power needed for the resolution of international ‘conflicts’ and achievement of future ‘civilizational’ breakthroughs are characteristic of the business policies of New York’s Wall Street and other banking centres as well as of the state policies of major world powers. This paper analyses aspects of the problems of sustainable development, with emphasis on awareness transformation and personal growth. It is a part of research of the matters pertaining to education and professional training as a part of lifelong learning. In it, we show the model of transformation.
