- More about Relationality: An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human
A new book argues that the root of contemporary crises is dualism, the belief in the fundamental separateness of things. The key to livable worlds is cultivating ways of knowing and acting based on relationality, which is the fundamental interdependence of everything that exists. The book explains and exemplifies the modes of operation and consequences of non-relational living, and elucidates the nature of relationality and explores how it is embodied in transformative practices in multiple spheres of life.

The book "Relationality: The Core Presupposition of Our Crisis" argues that the root of the contemporary crisis of climate, energy, food, inequality, and meaning is a core presupposition 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, which 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.
