Description
Relationality: An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human The contemporary crisis of climate, energy, food, inequality, and meaning is rooted in a fundamental assumption that structures our way of living, thinking, acting, and designing: the notion of dualism. This book argues that the key to constructing livable worlds lies in cultivating ways of knowing and acting based on a profound awareness of the fundamental interdependence of everything that exists. The authors contend that a shift in paradigm is necessary to heal our bodies, ecosystems, cities, and the planet. They explore two interwoven threads of argumentation: one examining the dire consequences of non-relational living, and the other elucidating the nature of relationality and its embodiment in transformative practices. The book provides an instructive account of the philosophical, scientific, social, and political sources of relational theory and action, with the aim of illuminating the transition to living within relational weaves that we might co-create with multiple human and nonhuman others.
