Economic Conditioning and Humanity-Centred Collective Awareness: A Phenomenological Inquiry

This paper integrates two lines of inquiry: economic conditioning as a totalizing structure of human existence, and humanity-centred collective awareness as a non-structural movement of transformation. It argues that while economic systems bind survival, identity, and collective participation, their transformation cannot be achieved through imposed collective coordination. Instead, a different possibility emerges through a shared centering in fundamental human qualities such as love, freedom, intelligence, understanding, equality, thinking, and questioning. Awareness begins individually but may move collectively without becoming ideology or structure. This unified framework proposes that freedom within economic participation is possible when humanity, rather than economy, becomes the centre of perception.
