INDIGENOUS COSMOVISION AND THE ETHICAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ENVIRONMENT:

PACHA MAMA, BUEN VIVIR AND ECOCENTRISM

Abstract

Latin America is a space of pluralities and miscegenation, allowing different projects of experiences to survive collectively and jointly, without major attempts to erase the other, with exceptions. This paper deals with one of these collective experiences, seen as an alternative to the Eurocentric model, imposed by colonization and maintained for centuries, of modus vivendi. The main objective of this text is to propose the ecosophy of Buen Vivir, based on the indigenous cosmovision of the Amerindian peoples, as a possibility for the European model of Welfare or the American American Way of Life, proposing a shift towards ecocentrism, as overcoming accumulation capitalism. with the hypothesis, later confirmed, of the Buen Vivir of the native peoples as an alternative. The chosen method was the hypothetical-deductive one, using bibliographical research as a tool, and the work was divided into three chapters, allowing a better understanding of the theme and the research problem. The conclusion of the work is that the ecosophical proposal of Good Living, of the Amerindian peoples, presents itself as an alternative to the Eurocentric social, economic and legal model. It is necessary to overcome the extractive capitalism of accumulation, directing Latin American society to ecocentrism as a model and to Good Living as a tool.
