AB Dualistic thinking has led Western civilization to a logic of domination which justifies the exploitation over those perceived as others, among which is nature. Following primarily philosopher Val Plumwood’s analysis of dualisms, this article takes up her call for developing counter-hegemonic strategies to change this logic, adopting a new cultural paradigm that would grant non-human others ethical consideration. The article explores diverse literary strategies, with examples in contemporary American literature, that dismantle the false dichotomies human/non-human and mind/matter, allowing readers to re-situate humanswithin the biosphere and develop a dialogical and communicative relationship with earth others that would provide an adequate ethical response to the non-human world
