The Power of Fungi in Breaking Down Traditional Philosophical Frameworks
Fungi challenge traditional Western philosophical frameworks by demonstrating the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living beings. They show that intelligence is not exclusive to humans, as fungi possess their own form of intelligence. By deepening our relationship and partnership with the fungal community, we can learn to adapt to the ecological crisis we face. This includes forming new relationships with non-human organisms and humans, embracing cyclical thinking, and appreciating the power of what lies hidden and mysterious in the natural world.
