ez egy cím (az anyag társadalom- és gazdaságpolitikai feladatokról szól), kellene rá valami frappáns megoldás (egy from/to szerintem nem igazán az)

honnan, hová?
whence - whither


Explanation:
An angolban régebben léteztek olyan szavak, melyek tömören kifejezték ezt a két fogalmat. A kettő közül a "whither" viszonylag gyakran szerepel választékosabb nyelben (pl. "whither democracy?") (szinte a "quo vadis" behelyettesítéseként), a "whence" ritkább, de a nagy Oxford szótár létező és élő alakként hozza azt is.

agree  Andras Mohay (X): Csaba, ez nem a névmások szintje, hanem egy műfajé (cím), s abban egy kliséé. A javaslat talán jó, de egy kicsit az "and why"-jal a "Mi végből vagyunk mi (van vmi) a földön?" vagy "Mire jó a...?" típusú cím(-klisé) irányába megy el.

agree  juvera: Talán "Whence and whither?" ha ez tetszik, de semmi esetre sem a "from" és "to" megtűzdelésével.

neutral  Sonia Soros: Oxford also adds though, that these terms are "archaic or poetic/literary" which might not suit the context here
