Hermitix
Ethics and Animism: A Cultural Contrast
This chapter contrasts Western and indigenous ethical perspectives regarding humanity's relationship with nature, focusing on the anthropocentric views of Abrahamic religions versus the interconnectedness recognized by indigenous beliefs. It explores animism through Aztec culture, illustrating a respectful relationship with tools and non-human entities, challenging the notion of human exceptionalism. By discussing emotional bonds and care for living beings and objects, the chapter invites a reevaluation of how responsibilities and hierarchies are perceived in different cultures.
