An Ethos of Dependence
摘要
The path drawn so far suggested the connection between a rigid and isolated idea of ecological action—pre-made and detached from social milieus—and some dualistic foundations regarding the place of human beings within the whole, even in cases where connectedness is theoretically intended. The understanding of the ecological as an object would lie in an ontology of separateness, and it would respond to it as an attempt to somehow stabilize human-nonhuman relationships in contexts in which there seems to be no strong experience of familiarity with the world that could offer a point of support for conceptualizing a practical discernment of the ecological. But the objectivistic separation does not seem to correspond to the experience of intense sociability and attachment of many communities, like Quepi, nor to many other cases reported by social research in different fields and contexts.
