Course Proposal: GEONOMICS in 1 LESSON A Cosmo centric model/view of human economic activity (earth sharing/sharing economy) will be presented in the foundational form of a simple and brief booklet; a public learning event (roundtable; panel discussion) and/or closed workshop would build the optimal working environment. The geonomic model will comprise geo-economic, thermo-economic and human behavioral levels; the definition of Geonomics is based on Collins Dictionary (www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/geonomics ). The puzzling interplay of human economic activity will be presented in single elements (natural/human/technical=resources) and a geonomic picture of human economic behavior (adaptation and cognitive learning) will slowly emerge via logical, rational and methodical reasoning, i.e. didactical steps will play a vital role as the geonomic approach is about better and deeper understanding the real physical/natural principles of human economic action which works with certain material constraints and creative ingenuity, e.g. the question about the possibility of a just economy, in ethical terms of universal cosmic law, has to be included
into the ongoing economic debate about the distribution of human living chances and the enhancement of the productive forces of humanity. The scientific method will be strictly applied and utopias or illusions will be marked as such, i.e. the discourse shall consequently lead from utopian illusions to degrees of feasibility, but not in technocratic terms. A human-centered or humanistic approach towards economic problem-solving will be choosen. August 18/2016 S.Ternyik
