We live in an era defined by a sense of separation, even in the
midst of networked connectivity. As cultural climates sour and
divisive political structures spread, we are left wondering about
our ties to each other. Consequently, there is no better time than
now to reconsider ideas of unity. In The Ethics of Oneness, Jeremy
David Engels reads the Bhagavad Gita alongside the works of
American thinkers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman. Drawing on
this rich combination of traditions, Engels presents the notion
that individuals are fundamentally interconnected in their shared
divinity. In other words, everything is one. If the lessons of
oneness are taken to heart, particularly as they were expressed and
celebrated by Whitman, and the ethical challenges of oneness
considered seriously, Engels thinks it is possible to counter the
pervasive and problematic American ideals of hierarchy, exclusion,
violence, and domination.
