Description
Summary:This work is the result of an extensive process of inquiry, discussion and construction of the concept of good living as one of the alternatives to the dominant development in the current capitalist world-system. The aim is to expand and complement, with this proposal, the various epistemic perspectives on how the concept is constructed in the current world, both in academic and in indigenous communities. To this end, it has been decided to integrate three types of methodologies that are diverse and complementary: a broad review of the literature that locates the four main tendencies of good living (socialist, ecological, indigenous and complex), an experience of dialogue of knowledge of a socio-academic network of organizations for good living, and the construction of a transversal and interdisciplinary research protocol that brings together a group of academics from a university academic center with various interfunctional thematic research/training/social intervention projects. In the final reflections, the main general contributions that good living offers as an alternative concept for any type of society and not only for ancestral peoples are realized.
