Description: This important new book argues that at the root of the contemporary crisis of climate energy food inequality and meaning is a certain core presupposition that structures the ways in which we live think act and design: the assumption of dualism or the fundamental separateness of things. The authors contend that the key to constructing livable worlds lies in the cultivation of ways of knowing and acting based on a profound awareness of the fundamental interdependence of everything that exists what they refer to as relationality. This shift in paradigm is necessary for healing our bodies ecosystems cities and the planet at large. The book follows two interwoven threads of argumentation: on the one hand it explains and exemplifies the modes of operation and the dire consequences of non - relational living; on the other it elucidates the nature of relationality and explores how it is embodied in transformative practices in multiple spheres of life. The authors provide an instructive account of the philosophical scientific social and political sources of relational theory and action with the aim of illuminating the transition from living within seemingly ineluctable toxic loops of unrelational living (based on ontological dualism) to living within relational weaves which we might co - create with multiple human and nonhuman others.
