8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it? | I've come to realize that a key obstacle to overcoming our current impasse lies in our narrow, naturalistic worldview. Delving into the insights of Philippe Descola, I discovered alternative cosmologies like animism, totemism, and analogism, each offering unique perspectives on existence. These cosmological frameworks shape how we perceive the world around us, with all four ontologies—naturalism, animism, totemism, and analogism—residing within us, latent yet potent. |
