立场

Cordova sought to state a Native American worldview in the terms of academic philosophy without forcing it into Western categories. Every culture, she argued, rests on a basic framework that answers what the world is, what a human being is and what role humans have in the world. In the Native view she described, the world is a self-sustaining whole and humans are one part of it among others – neither its masters nor a species apart. Identity is bound to a particular place and community, and ethics means keeping balance and fitting relations with others, human and non-human. She set this against Western dualism and abstract universalism.

生平与背景

Viola Cordova was born in 1937 and was of Jicarilla Apache and Hispanic background. In 1992 she earned her doctorate in philosophy at the University of New Mexico, becoming one of the first Native American women with a PhD in the field, and went on to teach philosophy at several universities. She died in 2002. After her death, colleagues edited her essays, which appeared in 2007 as How It Is.
