Shamanism, Anthropomorphism and Perspectivism: Hans Jonas and Amerindian Ontologies

Abstract

The article intends to bring together two theoretical views generally opposed and considered incompatible: philosophy (by Hans Jonas) and indigenous thought (Amerindian). We intend to demonstrate the similarities of these two positions around the interpretation of the human and non‘ human animal, based on the guiding thread of the interiority of life that, in the case of Jonas, leads to the analysis of the concept of freedom and anthropomorphism and, in the case of the indigenous people, to shamanism. Among them, the notion of perspectivism emphasizes the benefits of this strategy: a deeper and richer understanding of the Western cultural history (of which both perspectives are part) and a greater sensitivity to life’s urgent appeal, which comes from threats destruction of native peoples and nature in general.

O artigo pretende aproximar duas visões teóricas geralmente contrapostas e consideradas incompatíveis: a filosofia (de Hans Jonas) e o pensamento indígena (ameríndio). Para tanto, pretende-se demostrar as similaridades dessas duas posições em torno da interpretação do animal humano e não-humano, a partir do fio condutor da interioridade da vida que, no caso de Jonas conduz à análise do conceito de liberdade e do antropomorfismo e, no caso dos indígenas, ao xamanismo. Entre eles, a noção de perspectivismo acentua os benefícios dessa estratégia: uma compreensão mais aprofundada e rica da história cultural do ocidente (da qual ambas as perspectivas fazem parte) e uma maior sensibilidade em relação ao urgente apelo da vida, que nos chega das ameaças de destruição dos povos originários e da natureza em geral.
