Description
Far away, located in previously uncharted waters, there exists an imaginary island conceived in Maslovian reveries* It is a sheltered place, inhabited by one thousand self-actualizing people, who dominate a culture produced under constant study.. This study produces some rather deep questions, albeit very real questions, such as, how good a society does human nature permit? Or conversely, how good a human nature does society permit?
The island phantasm just mentioned is named Eupsychia, and it is different from Utopia or Dystopia in that a "eupsychian" culture could imply only real possibility and improvability, rather than certainty, prophesy, inevitability, perfectability, and so forth. So. . . "Eupsychian11 as used in the title of this address is simply a word coined by Maslow to connote a striving for constant improvement - in this case, in management.
Why should he bother? Well, he rather testily stated "I am quite aware of the possibility that all mankind may be wiped outo But it is also possible that it won't be wiped out. Thinking about the future, and even trying to bring it about is, therefore, still a good idea. In an age of rapid automation, it is even a necessary task."
