ENERGYSOikonomia of Pulses and the Non-Instrumental Limit of Power
An essay on human dignity, personal sovereignty, and civilizational architecture in the technological age
Political philosophy, AI ethics, non-dominative economics, and the foundations of an International Treaty for the Preservation of Human Dignity in the 21st century.
Philosophical Innovation
Ontological - Non-instrumentality is formulated as a constitutive condition of the human being, not merely as an ethical norm.
Economic - First coherent articulation of an economy structurally incapable of converting dignity into a resource.
Legal-Civilizational - Proposes a universal limit to power comparable in function to human rights.
Anthropological - Reinterprets human interior emptiness as the origin of power and the possibility of dignity.
Who Is This Book For?
For readers interested in:
contemporary political philosophy,
AI and data ethics,
digital governance,
alternative economic theory,
philosophical anthropology,
personal sovereignty in technological societies.
Especially relevant for academics, policy makers, think tanks, international institutions, and technology professionals.
Core Thesis
Humanity has built systems capable of generating wealth and knowledge, yet never an economy structurally incapable of capturing human dignity.
To address this threshold, the author introduces ontological non-instrumentalism: dignity is not a moral aspiration but a real condition of the human that no legitimate structure may absorb.
This work:
- offers a rigorous diagnosis of the technological age,
- identifies structural causes of life's instrumentalization,
- examines its civilizational effects,
- proposes an operational response: the ENERGYS Method.
The book grounds the conceptual basis for an International Treaty aimed at preserving non-instrumental human dignity, opening the possibility of cooperation that creates value without becoming domination.
It is neither utopia nor political program.
It is a civilizational formulation intended to mark a historical threshold:
can human dignity continue to exist without being treated as a resource?
About the Author
Alexandro Abadal-Lienas is an independent thinker and creator of the ENERGYS philosophical-legal framework. His work integrates ontology, value theory, and emerging international law to formulate civilizational limits capable of protecting the non-instrumental dimension of human existence in contexts of algorithmic automation and total data capture.
