Comprehensive Theory of Self-Determination
Support
Short definition
CTSD explains the conditions under which a person knows themselves, orients in a complex world, assumes responsibility, and becomes a conscious co-author of personal life, public relations, and the future.
The human being as a civilizational actor
In CTSD, the person is an individual, but not an isolated one. The person acts simultaneously in ontological, mental, cognitive, biological, relational, institutional, economic, and technological domains.
Self-determination as a capacity
Self-determination is not only preference or personal choice. It is a structural capacity: self-knowledge, orientation, decision, agency, and responsibility for consequences.
What CTSD is not
CTSD is not an ideology, a political program, or a technical solution. It does not provide ready-made answers and does not replace human responsibility. Its task is to show the conditions in which subjecthood can be formed, preserved, or undermined.
Methodological order
In CTSD, meaning precedes measurement, wholeness precedes optimization, and responsibility precedes automation. Measurement, technology, and institutional design matter, but they must serve the strengthening of human subjecthood.
The main question
The central question of the site is how human self-determination becomes a civilizational capacity, moving from the person to society, institutions, republic, and civilizational future.
