20.500.12556/RUL-186613 Are animistic temporal ontologies a solution to the climate crisis? The article examines whether “animistic” and so-called “indigenous ontologies” – particularly alternative conceptions of nature and time – can meaningfully contribute to addressing the climate crisis. It argues against treating animism or indigenous knowledge as coherent, ready-made ecological solutions opposed to modern science, showing instead that such approaches often rely on cultural essentialism and problematic binaries. Drawing on anthropology, philosophy of science, and environmental humanities, the article offers analysis of debates on nature and temporality, demonstrating that both scientific and non-scientific knowledge are socially embedded yet materially constrained. Focusing on anthropological theories of time, it critiques simplistic distinctions between different temporalities as systems and argues that time is produced through social practice and power relations. It is concluded that contemporary societies already inhabit multiple, overlapping temporal regimes which structure ecological action. Addressing climate change therefore requires a practice-centred rethinking of agency, nature, and time, rather than adopting “animistic ontologies” as ethical prescriptions. animism indigenous knowledge climate crisis nature temporality animizem staroselsko znanje podnebna kriza narava časovnost true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-09-03 11:26:54 2026-09-03 11:26:58 2026-09-04 04:30:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 60-77 Vol. 34 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 39:504 2500-9974 10.55877/cc.vol34.737 289892867 RAZ_Culiberg_Luka_2026.pdf RAZ_Culiberg_Luka_2026.pdf 1 DF447BB922A6B90606F8AAF11047422E 2b8ba2cf3fb4ae0928e8ec52128af3da44345dda71177580798b8145a6e35252 e28ab477-a779-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245897 https://culturecrossroads.lv/index.php/cc/article/view/737/543 1 9dde33bf-a779-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245896 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
