Abstract
The Integrality of Integral Ecology calls for a rejection of the technocratic paradigm in favor of the relational paradigm that foregrounds the interbeingness of all humankind and other kinds rooted in their inherent values. This relational paradigm advocates the intersectional relations of cultural, economic, social, political ecology, spiritual ecology, and the ecology of daily life. This integrality is grounded in an incarnational theology that the God who has “earthyfied” Godself has sacralized and “eternalized” our common home. In Asia, this integrality is enriched by the Indigenous/Igorot’s earth spirituality, which identifies Kabunian, land, identity, being, and life as a sacred whole, steeped in cosmic interconnectedness, much akin to buen vivir and Indra’s String of Pearls. Ultimately, integrality calls for a “bold cultural revolution” and a “unified moral narrative” to definancialize nature to regenerate a more flourishing life in our Common Home.
