- More about Ways of Being Alive
The ecological crisis is a crisis of sensibility and a call to rethink our relationships with other living beings. Baptiste Morizot argues that animals are cohabitants of the Earth with whom we share a common ancestry, the enigma of being alive, and the responsibility of living decent lives together. By accepting our identity as living beings and reconnecting with our animal nature, we can change our relationships with other animals and see them as living creatures who have different ways of being alive.

The ecological crisis poses a severe threat to numerous species on the brink of extinction, but it also reflects a crisis of sensibility. We have become accustomed to viewing other living beings as mere props in the human drama, treating the animal world as a separate entity from the world of human beings who pursue their own goals. Baptiste Morizot argues that it is time for us to abandon this nature-human dualism and reevaluate our relationships with other living beings.
Animals are not separate from the natural world; they are cohabitants of Earth, sharing a common ancestry, the mystery of life, and the responsibility of living decent lives together. By embracing our identity as living beings and reconnecting with our animal nature, we can transform our relationships with other animals. Instead of viewing them as inferior lifeforms, we can recognize them as living creatures with unique ways of being alive.
This compelling call for a new understanding of our relationships with other animals holds immense significance for those concerned about the ecological crisis and the future of diverse species, including our own. It urges us to recognize the interconnectedness of all life and to work towards a harmonious coexistence with the natural world. By valuing and respecting the diversity of life, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for ourselves and all living beings.
