Relationality | Escobar, Osterweil, & Sharma
Relationality is the Interconnectedness Protocol because it argues that nothing exists in isolation; everything—human, plant, animal, and mineral—emerges through its relationships with everything else.
It is included because a flourishing world cannot be built on the "myth of the individual."
Escobar and his co-authors provide a roadmap for a "Politics of Life" that respects the Pluriverse (a world where many worlds fit).
This book provides the philosophical "glue" that binds Regenerative Design to Social Justice, teaching that to heal the planet, we must first heal our "relational tissue" and recognize that we are not on the earth, but of the earth.
