Pluriversality as Interpreted by Google's Generative AI

[Oluwatoyin Adepoju]

Pluriversality is a theory that recognizes the dynamic connection between humans and other living beings on Earth, as well as the existence of multiple cosmologies and places. It's a decolonial way of thinking about epistemology, ontology, and cosmologies, and it aims to change how people live in the world.

Here are some other aspects of pluriversality:

Critique of Euromodern ontology
Pluriversality critiques the idea that morality is a transcendence and the universality of a Euromodern ontology.

Challenge to global ethics
Pluriversality challenges the purpose and point of global ethics, which is to address ethical questions across international, transnational, and global contexts.

Focus on cultivating virtue
Pluriversality focuses on cultivating virtue, relating to others without subsuming them, and finding new ways of working with others.

Recognition of multipolarity
Pluriversality recognizes multipolarity as a move towards dewesternization, but eschews the power-hierarchies and polarizing ideologies of multipolarity.

Construction of a diverse horizon of liberation
Pluriversality is a diverse horizon of liberation constructed by the heretofore marginalized and oppressed voices.

The word pluriverse is a noun that comes from the words pluri- and -verse, which is similar to the word universe.
