God, Man and Universe: A Māori View (Bóg, człowiek i wszechświat: spojrzenie maoryskie)
Esej w zbiorze Michaela Kinga „Te Ao Hurihuri”, który przedstawia maoryski światopogląd na podstawie tradycji stworzenia: kosmos rozwijający się przez genealogię z pustki i nocy w świat światła oraz pojęcia mana, tapu, mauri i hau, które go porządkują.
Wprowadzenie
Marsden’s essay appeared in 1975 in “Te Ao Hurihuri: The World Moves On”, a collection edited by Michael King in which Māori authors wrote about their culture; it was reprinted in later editions and in “The Woven Universe” (2003). Marsden contrasts the Māori approach to reality with the Western one: the world is known not only through detached reason but through participation, in ritual, story and genealogy. The creation traditions describe a process from Te Kore, the void of potential, through Te Pō, the night, to Te Ao Mārama, the world of light, in which everything is related by whakapapa. On this basis he explains mana as authority and power that derive from the divine, tapu as the state of being set apart, and mauri as the life principle of every being. The essay became a standard text for teaching the Māori world view in schools, universities and public institutions in Aotearoa New Zealand.
