Abstract

This work exposes different theoretical references regarding life sense and equality, that reflect a global society overburdened with co-existence tensions, in the center of a planetary existential crisis and an epochal change process, signaled by uncertainty and social injustice, as well as a depletion of confrontation strategies. Facing powerful neo-colonizer knowledge forces, there is an urgent need to decolonize history, the philosophy of modernity and euro-centric narratives that have been told to us on the subject of Equality and rights, moving towards new anthropologic comprehensions about life and new conceptualization and action forms towards equity, social justice and human rights, an indivisible theoretical matrix. Advancing the geo-politics of knowledge, creative criticism that proposes new thinking and recover wealth in anthropologic and philosophical ideas, based on original proposals about living and co-existence, philosophies about desertion-dissention, opposed to hegemonic forms, undervalued, stigmatized, banalized or covered. While the modern world limits the becoming of equality, rights and cultural and socio-political independence conflicts, that uncover angst over an over-burdened society, where psycho-social tension and injustice have overpowered confrontational resources and generated new existential gaps and crises of purpose, requiring new anchorings for the re-definition of equality, rights and co-existence based on humane and citizenship foundations for a harmonious daily living. We propose the rescue of philosophies based on good living and good lifestyles, as means for anthropological and bio-centric criticism for the recovery of lost sense of purpose, as a concrete utopia of originating societies and dissident thinkers over modern traditions, charged with other logics and knowledges, favorable to construct harmonious lifestyles and healthy societies, in recognition of alternativeness and diversity, in co-belonging with the world for a solidary co-existence, in reciprocity, complementariness and correspondence.
