I consider the role of nonhuman animals in a Gandhian devotional democracy based on the popular sovereignty of Truth. Such a democracy is based methodologically on a philosophical reconstruction I developed in my recent book, Gandhi’s Popular Sovereignty of Truth (GPST) of neglected passages from Gandhi’s writings concerning the people’s voice as God’s voice......

During the 1990s and 2000s, the University of Oregon’s (UO) Department of Anthropology supported a diverse group of graduate students—including more than a dozen Indigenous Native Americans and Pacific Islanders—in their efforts to earn Masters and PhD degrees in archaeology and cultural anthropology.

The origin of gods, divine kings, and superhuman figures has traditionally been explained through theology, metaphysics, or purely sociological models. This paper advances an alternative framework grounded in ecology, survival anxiety, and embodied cognition.

Societies facing harsh or unpredictable environments externalize control into transcendent figures, while societies with relatively stable ecological conditions—most notably the Indus Valley Civilization—show an absence of divine kingship, monumental temples, and centralized gods......
