“…Fishers are not the same as hunters, and the gatherers of the interior are not the same as those who cultivate the flood lands.” Moreover, “In each land and its features, God manifests himself and reflects something of his inexhaustible beauty. Each distinct group, then, in a vital synthesis with its surroundings, develops its own form of wisdom” (2020, §32). The papal turn to Indigenous Amazonian wisdom shows a maturation, even conversion, of thought from earlier writings and statements that did not emphasize the role of “Earth as teacher” (Jenkins 2018, 453).…”

This article considers the methodological limits and possibilities of a cultural turn in comparative religious ethics by "translating" the Latin American Indigenous meanings of buen vivir (living well), a subsistent mode of interdependent flourishing resistant to Western models of extractive development amid the Anthropocene. It problematizes the methodological challenge of translating Indigenous cultures from within a Western colonial political economy that has historically relegated Indigenous Americans to the primitive level of savage inferiority according to a stadial theory of socioeconomic development. However, constructive methodological options for translating Indigenous cultures emerge from the Journal of Religious Ethics's existing conversations about comparative religious ethics. On the one hand, recent critical anthropology and ethnography, abetted by intellectual history, provide tools for ethicists in the recovery of Indigenous critiques and meanings against longstanding Western cultural patterns. On the other hand, nativizing the concept of the religious classic thematizes the normative dimensions of Indigenous cultures, demonstrating how the translation of buen vivir points to intercultural dialogue rather than cooptation and manipulation.
