The funda- mental one is conservation, or, too, sustentatio. This means preserving, protecting all things in the manner of their existence as established by creation.

It is the continuation of creation, and prevents the falling back into nothingness, the annihilation — or the collapse. Here, we already see the polarity outlined above. Gubernatio refers to the steering and leading processes, the exercise of govern- ment over things.

An element of that is cura, care and caring, including a caring handling of creation. The signs of divine gubernatio are the phenomena which occur according to the laws of nature: the consistency of cosmic motion, the regularity of the sequence of the seasons, the water cycle, and the sequence of generations in the natural realms. The third element of providentia is concursus, the flowing together or the inter- action of various effective causes.

This involves the relationship between divine effect actio externa , the effects of the forces of nature, and free human actions. Divine action is the prima causa, the primal cause. Natural forces and human cooperation cooperatio are secundae causae, secondary causes, but also with lee- way, and with their own effects and side effects. Finally, the teaching of concursus also addresses the tricky question of how evil affects the course of things.

Divine gubernatio switches between the options of permission permissio , prevention impeditio , orientation towards divine goals directio , and limitation terminatio of evil.

Belief in divine providence began to crumble during the eighteenth century. Even theology abandoned it. But its language continues to have an effect in secu- larized systems of thought.

The vocabulary of providentia reappears today in the global sustainability discourse. In the triangle of sustainability, what is at issue is the integration of ecology, economy, and social forces, i.

That is what was once called concursus. And what does terminatio, the limitation of evil, tell us? At the Climate Summits, the controversy is about the limitation of CO2 emissions. As we are debating — once again — the limits to growth, films and books are proposing ever new images of annihilatio, the destruction of the planet — the ultimate collapse. Faith has disappeared — yet the conceptual framework of the trust in divine providence has been adapted. The path was to win domination over nature, to take possession of her, to impose order upon her.

This was done using the method of rational thought: only to recognize as true that which is evident and provable. To take a thing apart, into as many pieces as necessary, to dissect, to analyze, to measure, to reorder and design them — that was the avenue to be taken, upon which the human could imagine himself to be maitre et posesseur — lord and master of nature.

This view is certainly engraved in the idea of sustainability. But in the long run it is not sustainable. Spinoza, however, formulated a radical counterproposal to Descartes. It undertakes the greatest conceivable upgrading of nature: it pronounces God and nature to be identical: deus sive natura: God is nature. Nature is God. Here is the primal cause of all existence, including all thinking.

The more we know the sin- gle phenomena of nature, the more we know God. Distinct from it he saw natura naturans, the living, active, and productive force working within the natura naturata.

The distinction is essential. As the natura naturata, nature is at the disposal of human will. It is manipulable www. The vital forces of natura naturans, however, are overpowering and non-disposable. They are the fullness of life, the power of life itself. That topples the claim of the human race to power. The classification of natu- ral phenomena into good and evil, useful and harmful, undeveloped and devel- oped, becomes obsolete, and is replaced by the indivisible web of life.

Since its expulsion from paradise, humankind has been responsible for that, too. This economic securing of human existence can, however, only succeed in harmony with nature.

We do not produce the riches of nature; we find them before us. Our freedom consists of bringing our striving into line with reason, which means with the order of the entire natural world. Where that succeeds, we can be completely at peace, and seek to remain permanently in this peace. What does that mean for the design of our common society? Reason demands that we tie the preservation of our own being not only to the preservation of the natural foundations of life, but also to the welfare of others.

As opposed to the law of the jungle of free competition, he posits the just distribu- tion of goods, and the potentia multitudinis, the democratic power of the many. The capacity to foresee and exercise precaution focused all over Europe on the management of forests. The actual creator of the classical concept of Nachhaltigkeit, blueprint of the modern concept of sustainability in the eighteenth century, was a Saxon cam- eralist by the name of Hans Carl von Carlowitz see Grober , pp.

His portrait shows a self-assured aristocrat, a Baroque figure. The region around Freiberg had largely been clear-cut, so that the most important resource for smelting silver ore was becom- ing scarce.

In , Carlowitz published his book Sylvicultura oeconomica oder Anweisung zur wilden Baumzucht Economical silviculture, or instruction on the raising of wild trees.

It differed from the traditional term pfleglich, in that it combined the notion of long-term continuity with the notion of spatial stability, and was thus able to more clearly incorporate the idea of rationing resources, in other words, the temporal dimension, or the future capability of the use of natural resources. Carlowitz addressed the question as to how such a conservation and cultivation of wood can be arranged, so as to make possible a continuous, steady and sustaining use [nachhaltende Nut- zung], as this is an indispensable necessity, without which the country cannot maintain its Being.

Quoted by Grober , p. We can see at this point how Carlowitz is literally searching and groping for a new concept. This is, indeed, a prominent place in the book. Of course, Carlowitz provides no definition of the term. Only later would this borrowing from everyday language become a technical concept. It was in this way that sci- entific language emerged during the early part of the Age of Enlightenment; pre- viously, only Latin had been used for such purposes. It is surprising to see that the dimensions of sustainability, ecology, economy, and social justice can already be seen clearly outlined in this book, published in What does Carlowitz say about ecology?

He adopts a word and fills it with a new specific semantic content. Ever since, throughout all defini- tions of Nachhaltigkeit, sustained yield forestry, and sustainability, two core thoughts persist: intergenerational justice and respect for the bearing capacity of the eco- system.

Throughout the entire process of expansion of the scope of its mean- ing, that is what constitutes the substance and the continuity of the concept. And that continuity began with Carlowitz. The Sylvicultura oeconomica contains the commonplace word for the first time in a written source in connection with its notional substance that still applies today. That makes this book a linguistic event of significance. During the nineteenth century, the principle was also adopted in other Euro- pean countries, and the need to translate Nachhaltigkeit into other languages became urgent.

It was then that derivations of the Latin word sustinere first appeared. A restart: Sustainable development The Brundtland Report appeared in This report begins with the look at the blue planet with these words: In the middle of the 20th century, we saw our planet from space for the first time.

From space, we see a small and fragile ball dominated not by human activity and edifice but by a pattern of clouds, oceans, greenery, and soils. WCED , p. During those years began the great search movement, the politics of the earth, which has continued to this day, and which will determine our fate during the twenty-first century. These conceptions, these images, these thought-pictures, are part of the rational, emotional, and spiritual core of the concept of sustainability. They are its matrix.

In , the Commission met in Bucharest to explore a formula for solutions to the worldwide environmental crisis, which would at the same time address the question of justice. This implies that the developed countries have provided the only possible path to development. Development is thus placed in the context of the struggle against poverty, and of north—south justice. In the same breath, the report emphasizes that the current and future bearing capac- ity of the ecosystem must define the limits of technology and civilization.

The permanent bearing capacity of the ecosystems thus becomes the standard for eco- nomic activity — not the globalized markets. Conclusion Let us return to my initial question: sustainability is a holistic design.

Its tar- get is the overall whole. It organically connects the three dimensions: ecology, economy, and social justice. And it connects them so tightly that new patterns of production and consumption become apparent, patterns which are compatible with the bearing capacity of the ecosystems, and which will drastically reduce our ecological footprint. In the prism of sustainability we see a different kind of economy, a lower-resource, more natural, socio-ethically well-founded economy.

The fossil age is coming to an end. Fossil resources have, in the last years, given us an unbelievably dynamic development. That logic needed no sustainability. And indeed, the traditional vocabulary of ecology and sustainability disappeared into the ivory tower of academic disciplines for years. But fossil resources are not regenerated. The oil price shock of was an initial warning sign. This game cannot go into overtime. Business-as-usual is no longer possible. We will once again have to depend on renewable resources and renewable energies.

Sustainability is no longer the icing on the cake of a fossil- fueled lifestyle, but rather a survival strategy and a new civilizational design. We have the necessary intellectual resources. We have the gentle technologies. And we also have the sensitivity for the values of human rights and human dignity. The discovery of sustainability 15 Peak oil is a historic opportunity, a moment of kairos, at which a window of opportunity is opening.

It is bringing us face-to-face with the challenge to design the Great Transformation in all areas. Back to my initial question: sustainability is not a word that can be manipu- lated at will. Nor, however, is it a rigid term, explainable in one or two formulas, to be defined once and then simply implemented.

It is not a state; it is a process, a model. In other words, it is not a final goal to be achieved at some stage, but rather a compass providing orientation for a journey into an unknown future. It will help us to act on this field that evolution has prepared in such a way that human existence will not end on this planet. Sustain- ability is a Suchbewegung, a quest. Bibliography Birch, C.

Some thoughts Armin Grunwald The issue and an overview Since its stormy adolescent period of ten to fifteen years ago, the theoretical discussion around sustainability has abated almost entirely.

Large numbers of definitions and concepts of sustainable development emerged during that initial period, which, however, eventually yielded to a phase of fatigue. For what was the use of all this theoretical contemplation and debate, when so many urgent practi- cal issues were at hand?

While a debate over such issues may give rise to a theory of sustainability research as part of scientific theory or of scientific research, it will hardly be able to engender a theory of sustainable development, which would, after all, have to address the question of what that means terminologically, normatively, conceptually, and operatively. In this situation, the question as to what theory is needed would seem to itself require justification, and also a brief consideration of the role of theory itself.

Theories are not ends in themselves, but must rather be viewed instrumentally. What kind of theory do we need for sustainable development? Depending on the state of knowledge and its processing, theoretical debates are sometimes urgently required; often, however, they are unnecessary.

The fact that virtually no theoretical debate on sustainable development has been car- ried out during the past ten years is thus not necessarily a problem. Theoretical debates should only be conducted if there is a demonstrable need for them, for example, because of unclear interpretations of empirical results, or of far-reaching scientific controversies which can be diagnosed with their aid. The initial thesis of this paper is that in the case of sustainability, there cer- tainly is currently a considerable need for theoretical work which must, initially, be elucidated Section 2.

Thereafter, several difficulties on the way to a theory of sustainable development will be identified, and approaches for dealing with them proposed Section 3. Rather, the important thing is that the problem of theory and practice inher- ent in sustainability be itself elucidated theoretically; this can, however, only be touched on here Section 4. Sustainability concepts are competing with one another scientifically, and to some extent also politi- cally.

I would like to elucidate this below by reference to an imagined practical situation conceived as a thought experiment. Let us imagine a situation in which a decision-maker is faced with the necessity of making political — or other — decisions with regard to, say, energy supply, mobility related facilities, or waste treatment from the point of view of sustainability. What should this decision-maker now do? In this perspective, sustainability-related decision making becomes a two-stage process: at the first stage, it is necessary to make a decision regarding the concept of sustainability with the aid of which, at the second stage, substantive sustain- ability assessments can be undertaken and political decisions made.

The focus of the present paper is on the first of these two stages. The question is, which criterion K is to provide orientation for the selection decision at the first stage, and what can this criterion K be based upon? This is a decisive point for the evaluation of the practical necessity of theory.

For the selection decision between various sustainability concepts could have very considerable practical results with regard to many questions of sustainable development and their policy implemen- tation, even if this is certainly not always the case. Depending on the sustainabil- ity concept upon which various policies are based, their implementation could turn out very differently.

Without clear and well- founded assessment and selection criteria, there will be no possibility, in the case of competing concepts of sustainability, of arriving at an argumentatively legitimated, i. This would then no longer be an academic problem, but rather a practical one: since sustainability ultimately aims toward activity in a variety of societal areas, it needs at least a minimum of reliability, convergence, and continuity in its orientation for action.

In order to avoid this, i. The goal must be to overcome a threatening arbitrariness of perception and assessment, and to replace it with a systematic procedure which would first of all address such a fear of arbitrariness, and second, abstractly over- arch the casuistry of multiple cases see Habermas , p. Only in this way does the usual scientific process of realization, in which theo- retical reflection and the relationship between theory and practice, as well as their interaction, have an undeniable place, become possible in the first place.

The argumentative security of the criteria for such an assessment would be the main task of the theory of sustainability. And since there has been no such theory to date, a theoretical debate is now in order. The path to a theory of sustainable development Accordingly, a comparative assessment of sustainability concepts will require cri- teria.

One possibility in the area of sustainable development could be the internation- ally concluded and legitimized sustainability agreements, albeit only in terms of a provisional ethic according to Descartes, i. The point of departure and the initial issue The first question concerns the level at which criteria for selection decisions between sustainability concepts can or should be sought. An initial approach might be to seek criteria which come from one of the competing concepts itself — in other words, to identify what concretely such a concept is intended to achieve, setting it apart from other ones.

The criterion K, which we are seeking, must not favor any one of the concepts from which the selection is to be made a priori, i. Although these may in many respects be useful in demonstrating the spectrum of possibilities for understanding and operationalizing sustainability, they are not sufficient for addressing the issue of criteria as elucidated in Section 2. If anything is to be learned for a selection decision from a synoptic juxtaposition, the norma- tive criteria must previously have been obtained from other sources.

A third approach, which is often used to solve the issue of criteria, is to use binding and legitimate politically established factors as the point of departure.

Often, the Brundtland definitions are taken, and it is then claimed that one con- ceptualization or another corresponds to the spirit of this definition better than do others. The normative grounds for this argumentation are however also doubtful. Any reference to the Brundtland Commission has a prima facie dogmatic tinge: after all, to formally base oneself on the status of an official UN document would additionally require a substantive justification as to why particularly this defini- tion should be determinant.

And basing oneself on the history of the sustain- ability debate is to move in the direction of a naturalistic erroneous conclusion regarding that which should be, derived from an observation of that which is: for the debate to date may be subject to errors, unilateral views, or important omis- sions which, at more careful consideration, could or should be corrected.

Gener- ally, reference to political agreements must be rejected as arbitrary or dogmatic. Such a theory — which, if it is to solve the problem of selec- tion, must be recognized in consensus and no longer be the object of scientific controversy — does not of course exist. Presumably, moreover, no such holistic theory is even possible, for epistemological reasons, since it would require the observer to assume an external position which is not attainable.

The result of this diagnosis is that the theoretical work on sustainability cannot usefully set as its goal the theory of sustainability per se which would provide conclusively, once and for all, a theoretical grand overview of sustainable development of humankind. Thus, the search for a criterion for selection would appear to be stuck in a fundamental crisis, faced either with circularity, infinite regression, or dogmatic establishment,4 all three of which are fatal for any attempt to arrive at a transpar- ent and justified criterion K for a comparison between sustainability concepts.

This diagnosis makes it necessary to reflexively take a step back, as it were, and to try to conceptualize a manner in which a rational comparison between, and selection among, various sustainability concepts might be carried out procedurally.

Scientific sustainability concepts — and they alone are the object of our con- siderations here — have a claim to validity beyond the sphere of subjective opin- ion or belief. If therefore decision-makers E must, in order to meet the demands of practice, select one from among a number of sustainability concepts, they would have to get the representatives of the competing concepts together around a table in order to initiate a discourse regarding truth and cor- rectness Habermas The discourse would serve as a procedure for checking whether, e.

However, the question as to the point of departure of such a discourse, which has caused the above-discussed search for criterion K to fail, at least initially, also crops up here. In fact, agreement is often reached if a common basis exists as a point of departure for attempts at reasoning and justification. Pre- discursive consensuses often extend to a disposition toward settling disagreement and conflict by argument in the first place, to a willingness on the part of the participants to accept better arguments and to call their own previous positions into question, and to a common terminological basis, common quality criteria for arguments, and a recognition of rules of communications in accordance with the standards of procedural fairness Gethmann cf.

Pre-deliberative consensuses contain more preconditions than do pre-discursive consensuses, since they encompass, too, substantial aspects of the given understood situation, e.

Pre-deliberative consensuses are hence strongly context- related. This would be a procedural response to the challenge of a selection decision: only in the discourse itself would the determination emerge as to which criterion K was to determine the worthiness of preference of the concepts. Certainly, this model is only a thought experiment, and not simple to imple- ment as a real process. Nonetheless, it gives an indication as to how the problem elucidated in Section 2 might be handled transparently and logically.

I will eluci- date this in the next step, in which the question is: assuming the representatives of various sustainability concepts were to subject themselves to the effort of a discourse, where would the pre-deliberative consensus be, to which all would accede, or to which all would have to be able to accede? Clearly, the latter formu- lation is itself not free of problems, since what would, after all, be at issue would not be an acceptance which could be assumed or expected of the participants, but rather their actual acceptance.

A provisional arrangement at the beginning of theory The important thing is, then, to search for nontrivial elements of factually accepted determination in the context of sustainability. The factual acceptance of consensus deserves primacy — it is an example of the primacy of practice.

As a first step, this agreement might be sought at the level of sustainability-as- goal. If the idea of sustainability is a goal which can be generally accepted and considered as a pre-deliberative understanding in the context of the discourse regarding the worthiness of preference of sustainability concepts, various differ- ent sustainability concepts might be compared with regard to their suitability as contributions toward achieving that goal.

Unfortunately things are not that simple. For sustainability as a goal has no substance, since it is difficult to imagine anyone arguing against sustainability without falling into self-contradiction. The indeterminate nature at the level of the goal is reduced through concepts acting as the means, but in a different way — and thus the problem of selection remains.

Controversies regarding concepts are hence not only disagreements regarding the suitability of means for shared goals, but also conflicts, too, at the level of the goal definition itself. Nonetheless, a level might be found at which a pre-deliberative consensus could be arrived at, at least in general terms Grunwald : the level of international understanding on sustainability.

At the UN Conference on Environment and Development in in Rio de Janeiro, the international community of nations assumed the binding duty to implement that model in concrete policy at the national and global levels.

The corresponding documents, their numer- ous remaining semantical compromises and imprecisions notwithstanding, do at least constitute a certain level of definition of sustainability cf. Central to it are the conditions for the possibilities of the reproduction of human societies, from small-scale communities to the global society.

This combination of a largely shared diagnosis and an equally largely shared view that action is necessary — although the question of how to act remains controversial — shows that in spite of all the conflicts and controversies around sustainable devel- opment, there are clear signs that a factually recognized pre-deliberate agreement is emerging.

Hence, the policy agreements which are binding under international law can be interpreted as indicators, and as an expression of a globally shared pre- deliberate consensus on sustainability. If that is the case, this pre-deliberate con- sensus can be used as a point of departure for discourses on the suitability of divergent concepts of sustainable development.

However, two caveats are in order: first, this pre-deliberate consensus is, pre- cisely because of the political nature of its creation, highly indeterminate in terms of substance. As has often been noted — usually critically, from the scien- tific community — it contains a large number of semantical compromises, unclear terminology, rhetorical stock phrases, etc.

Hence, this pre-deliberate consensus, in the form of the Brundtland Report, the Rio documents and the follow-up agreements, etc. Second, the problem described in Section 3. What we therefore have is the determination of a position legitimized democratically and under international law, on the basis of incom- plete knowledge and situational assessments.

If the above statements are accurate, the primacy of practice is expressed in that legitimated policy settings can be used as a pre-deliberative consensus in a theoretical i.

Ultimately, it would be presumed that with all the accepted fallibility, an argumentative struggle will have taken place in which the power of the superior argument is at least one factor. Fallibil- ity, time dependency, and the provisional and incomplete character of knowledge will mean that the establishment of policy, as a methodological beginning and as the basis for a discourse, will always remain provisional, and require criticism and further development, in which theoretical argumentation will play a major role.

Theory and practice The situation diagnosed above leads to the thesis that what is at issue is not the drafting of a comprehensive theory of sustainability, but rather the creation of a fruitful relationship between practice and theory. This does not mean a theory regarding a practice that is in progress, but rather theoretical instructions which — primarily by means of the mentioned selection decisions between competing sustainability conceptions — have an effect on practice, which must then in turn be theoretically reflected upon.

We therefore have a double reflexive relationship between theory and practice, as described by Habermas , p. This situation is an ideal point of departure for scientific work — not only for empirical, but also for the terminological, conceptual, and hermeneutic theoreti- cal work. The key is, in the process of a scientific discourse of definition, to take the existing and factually shared pre-deliberative consensus, fuzzy and in need of interpretation as it may be, as the basis upon which sustainability can be made operable and — largely — by means of definitional and operationalizing proposals, to push the practice of policy-makers and societal public opinion to continue working on the ever provisional pre-deliberate consensus on sustainability, and to develop further and concretize the existing provisional construct.

Ultimately, it is a paradoxical program: we are using the pre-deliberative consensus that can be considered legitimated in the context of the political framework as a point of departure, knowing that it is itself in need of criticism, and that a duty to criti- cism certainly exists; it is indeed a provisional situation.

Grunwald has the pur- pose of drawing practical consequences through rational discourse out of the existing beginning, i. These two modes are not mutually independent. The knowledge gained in the context of the operationalization discourse and the implementation of its results can affect the further formulation and direction of the justification discourse, and must therefore be among the factors considered there.

What is important is not the theory for a certain practice, but rather the theory-practice relationship and its theoretical reflection. The interaction between theory and practice is decisive. In the context of practical societal-political implementation, and in fact even during work with the concept, experience will be gained regarding its operability, followed later by the empirically observed results of the measures implemented on its basis.

With regard to technological development, the former has been characterized as follows: The resulting dynamic of this approach is that directions and goals of development are certainly apparent, albeit not in the sense of straightfor- ward planning. Learning effects are thus not excluded a priori, but are rather explicitly integrated as the motivating mechanisms of planning modifica- tions.

The integration of learning ability is the key for the openness of the future. Grunwald , p. Theoretical work will not spare us the toil of deliberative efforts in the context of planning and decision-making discourses; at the same time, there is hope that theoretical reflection can support these deliberations.

Conclusions Often, sustainability is characterized as a process. Although in many respects, this is merely a phrase Ott , or an attempt to dodge terminological, conceptual, or substantive decisions, nonetheless, procedural and process-related elements are inherent to sustainability, if only because precisely the considerable insecuri- ties regarding future knowledge will prevent us from defining and operational- izing sustainability conclusively once and for all, and then passing the remaining problems on to the administration as a management task.

The primary task of theoretical work on sustainability is the reflection of the associated theory-practice relation- ship, in order to achieve a maximum of learning. There will be no theory of sustainability to be found at the end of the paths outlined here for practice-connected theoretical work, from which — even if the scientific community were of one mind — policy decisions might emerge as a reflection of scientific knowledge.

On the one hand, scientifically consensual sustain- ability conceptions would still be conditionally normative. Regarding the deci- sion as to whether the antecedent prerequisites which constitute the applicable conditions of the theory, and the fulfillment of which could transform the if- then chains of theoretical work into practical policy, have been fulfilled, the entire if-then chain ultimately can constitute no more than a proposal made to the continuing political process.

Instead, theory is here only a medium of reflective learning, itself a passage on the way to a reflected further development of pre- deliberate consensuses and theory-practice relationships.

Of course, in a democratic public context Habermas ; Grunwald , the decision-making process requires deliberation, which cannot, however, be elaborated upon here. It should be permitted, in this conceptually oriented paper, to refrain from dwelling upon that question further, and to rather continue with the argumentation as a thought experiment.
