Overview

Vandana Shiva points to the ontological connection of all beings, commenting on how the crisis caused by the coronavirus is linked to an anthropocentric view of the World, separating and unleveling human beings, considered as superior to other forms of life, manipulating and controlling the rest. It also mentions how this pandemic is linked to an economic model based on the illusory notion of unlimited growth, driven by greed, violating the integrity of ecosystems and the planet.
