Ethics of Oneness

by Jeremy David Engels

Publisher: University of Chicago Press Published: 2021-01-12 Category: Personal Empowerment

Imagine a world where the artificial boundaries we've constructed between self and other, between individual and community, between humanity and nature begin to dissolve. This groundbreaking exploration takes readers on a transformative journey through ancient wisdom and contemporary philosophy to rediscover a fundamental truth that cultures across time have recognized: we are all deeply, inextricably connected.

At the heart of this work lies an examination of how we might rebuild our ethical frameworks from the ground up, starting with the recognition that separation is an illusion. Drawing on diverse philosophical traditions, from Indigenous knowledge systems to Western thought, readers encounter a compelling argument for why oneness isn't just a mystical concept but a practical foundation for how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

The exploration begins by challenging the dominant narrative of individualism that has shaped modern Western society. Readers discover how the emphasis on autonomy, competition, and self-interest has created a crisis not just in our personal lives but in our communities and planetary ecosystem. Through careful analysis and vivid examples, the work reveals how this fragmented worldview manifests in everything from our political discourse to our mental health struggles, from environmental destruction to social inequality.
