Days of Decision

Abstract

Crises provide moments for reflection, rethinking, seeing the potential for restructuring, and making decisions to change everyday practices. Coronavirus has exposed the structure of the dominant economic system and its inequities. The response to the social crisis is a call for relating to other humans regardless of colour, creed, gender, sexual orientation, age or religion. The response to the ecological crisis is a call for recognition of plural values that relate to Nature’s otherness in ways modernity has dismissed and derided. The response to the economic crisis is to recognise the harmful system that has become dominant and that there are alternatives.
